Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the comments.  Im trying to get these as A grade as I can just to see if I can.   I still have an A game gun out of the pair and the B game gun is filled with the first attempt parts.  Still its going to be a good standard. ;)

The gloves are just nitrite workshop gloves.  I've started wearing them when im working with brass.  It stops me getting splinters in my hands and they wont tear my hand off if they get caught on the chuck like normal gloves could..

Cheers
Stot

Are you sure?  My brother started wearing those when working. His usual MO when using a portable drill was to grip the revolving chuck to tighten and loosen the chuck. I do the same, but with bare hands. Luckily he broke only one of his fingers, as the extra grip provided by the glove rather took him by surprise. ::)

I use these as a mechanic and they will indeed fall apart very easily latex ones have more stretch and and will wrap around a drill or impact gun along with your hand
Stot:
Yeah Like Jason says, the Nitrile ones have far less stretch before they tear.   I have to change mine a couple of times a session from just changing tools.

Cheers

Thanks both. Useful info to pass on.
