When to Use Elk Skin Welding Gloves

The specific type of welding a job requires may call for different types of welding gloves. When a project calls for stick welding, which uses electricity to generate arc welds between the electrode and the metal, you can expect to encounter high heat and plenty of sparks.

Elk skin is an ideal welding glove material for this application: it doesn't harden as fast as cowhide when exposed to high heat, so it makes for better comfort and less hand fatigue. It also makes for improved hand dexterity, which can make the difference in getting the job done right, even on the longest welding runs. Tillman 850 Gold Elkskin stick welding gloves are an ideal choice when you need this type of protection.

Welding Gloves That Combine Comfort with Protection

More than a quarter of all workplace accidents involve hand and finger injuries. Work-related burns account for a fifth to a quarter of all serious burns that require hospitalization, and since seventy percent of workers who sustained injuries reported not wearing gloves at the time, the importance of a welding glove that provides the protection you need couldn't be clearer.

Nothing's more important on the job than safety, but with elk skin welding gloves, you don't need to trade comfort for protection. The high level of comfort provided by elk skin is a byword in the industry, but this quality doesn't detract from its noted heat, flame and abrasion resistance, making it a highly-recommended option by the American Welding Society.

Additional Features of the Tillman 850 Stick Welding Glove

Stick welding calls for its own specific set of protective glove features, and these are all present in the Tillman 850 Stick Welding glove. Extreme temperatures and the likelihood of sparks calls for the kind of cotton and foam-lined back these gloves provide, and their unlined palms preserve the dexterity a welder needs to execute with precision.

The gloves' 14-inch length is another important safety feature. It ensures sparks are kept away from the forearms. Durability and longevity is a further crucial consideration, since it's always important that welding gloves are ready to perform when needed, an assurance provided by these gloves' Kevlar lock-stitching.
