      From: none@none.com99              I like to try to mention things that are good. Not just whine about       things that aren't, but as I pointed out before it seems like the moment       I praise something it goes south.              I've used a lot of welding gloves over the years. The biggest issue is       my fault of course. I cook off the fingers. By the time I realize my       hand is getting hot the fingers are cooked into hard shrunken       caricatures of their former selves. Most welding gloves are also stiff,       and the softer "TIG" gloves cook off easier than other welding gloves.              I've been using a pair of Vulcan Defender (Harbor Freight) welding       gloves for the last year or a little better, and I've been doing more       welding in the last couple years than I have in the past. Just       yesterday I was thinking, "The gloves still haven't cooked of, and they       are much more flexible (for a welding glove) than others I have used.       While they aren't the perfect welding glove they might be the best one I       have used." I was in the process of taking them off to walk inside and       post about them here on this very newsgroup, when the lining of the       right glove came out with my hand.              No, its not quite as comical as the mental image that might conjure up       for you. The liner fingers came out of the leather fingers and part way       up the cuff of the glove. I wasn't able to just push my fingers back       into to get it situated either. I had to pull the liner most of the       rest of the way out of the glove, and one finger at a time poke a finger       into the liner to straighten it out. Then I was able to one at a time       fit my fingers into the liner and push the liner back into the glove.       The glove is saved, but its going to be a pain in the wazoo to use from       now one. I'll have to grab the finger tip of each finger and pinch the       liner in place as I extract my hand every single time I use it from now       on.              Yes Jim, You Only Have To Think About It                            --       Bob La Londe       CNC Molds N Stuff                     --       This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software.       www.avg.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
