I don’t know why but when i saw this I just thought of this as personal protection equipment.It is down to the job basically, there is no type that fits all. ( no pun intended)
If you are doing domestic and require hand protection for chasing walls and other rough preparation work, it will be different from jobs where you need protection from chemicals, or oil and grease covered machinery.
If you are buying your own, the types supplied by the store in the previous link should be adequate.
There may come a time when you required more specialised - Personal Protection Equipment.
I don’t know why but when i saw this I just thought of this as personal protection equipment. View attachment 54467on a more serious note I like the gloves that leave your three fingertips out of your doing a lot of work outside in the cold and I have black latex free gloves for working on things that need to stay clean or are exceptionally dirty (by the way ever accidentally smelled a fluorescent tube that’s been in a classroom for years or worse a toilet ) I’ve got Stanley vibration damper gloves for heavy use of machines and stuff but generally I can’t be bothered with gloves unless it’s really cold or I really need them. There are gloves for live work but I’m presuming since you never mentioned live work that’s not what they’re for?
