Review on Large West Chester IRONCAT 6100 Metal Tamer TIG Welding Gloves - 1 Pair, Fire Resistant Silicone Coated Palm Knit Material. Enhance Welder Safety and Protection by Todd Raynie

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Behavior of gloves at high temperatures and working with metal

So far I have used them for work. They do not tolerate oil well as they are very slippery. Another thing is that it absorbs heat very quickly, but also cools down very quickly, which is not very good with heat resistance. But very durable, will not melt or hold together at high temperatures. I had a tear within 6 hours of use and it was on my thumb. The gloves also pinch the index finger when you pull the trigger to start welding. I don't suggest using them for welding as the heat resistance is poor and the sparks will burn out anyway. There was one on my index finger
