Great video Chris. Everyone who deals with wood is always looking for the Ultimate pair of gloves. It’s a never ending search. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Absolutely, gloves are always a big important thing! Are you still selling all of your wood every day?

[@mattshell7753]

I knew I might find a good video on gloves for firewood since I've been following you now for a year I just do it for my self but really enjoy it 70 years old put up about 2 chords season here and the Ozarks. Love your videos. Thanks

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching!

[@martinrice6541]

Chris this was an excellent discussion. I’m gonna try some of those Kamori A4 Cut’s. From what I’m reading those are goatskin.

[@InTheWoodyard]

They are nice but they still wear out the KINKOs are the best I have found.

[@michaelbrooks5111]

Hi Chris, Kincos gloves are the best for fire wood in the winter and all out door stuff in the winter. That is all I wear in the winter.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes they are!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Glad to see we are in agreement on which gloves are the best for winter firewooding!! In my video #57 I talk about how much I love my Kincos!! If you haven’t already, try the product Sno-Seal on them before putting them to use, helps break them in a bit faster and makes them pretty waterproof!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Great point! I have some of that, I will give it a try, I use it on my boots.

[@aldredske6197]

Good morning Chris!!😀😀 You have definitely tried every kind of gloves that are out there for doing wood. You have had the same experience with them that I have. I have found one kind that where being sold for under 10 dollars. Close to 10 years ago now. They are full leather, close cuffs and thinsulate lined. They usually last me all winter firing the stove and working on my equipment. I bought around ten pairs and I'm down to my last pair. My middle fingers usually ware out first also. Don't know what I'm going to do for good gloves next year. When I was hand cutting and making firewood in the summer I usually went bare handed and just let my hands toughen up. Once my hands were toughened in they didn't need gloves. But now days I don't do enough bare handed to get them in shape enough to not need a pair of gloves while doing wood. 30 face cords isn't enough to toughen them up. Good luck on the ultimate glove hunt!! TTYL!!😀😀👍👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Al, yup gloves are always a challenge! Thin ones are nice but not warm, thick ones are warm but not very easy to grab with!

[@balahmay]

What an incredible summary on work gloves for wood cutters. I had reached the exact same conclusion. I like to buy the Wells Lamont or Kincos in xxxlarge which is a loose fit but seems warmer. The safety cuff keeps them securely in place. Also, when they do have a seam failure or hole open up, the larger size allows me to repair many of them on an old Singer 29 leather patcher sewing machine. This machine has an arm that can go quite a way right into the fingers of the gloves. The repair sometimes sizes them down a bit. I hadn’t concluded yet the Kinco’s were more durable so, so thanks for that info. My only question is what are you saving all those old gloves for?

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks, good question, I guess for rainy days or muddy conditions I use them and then toss them!

[@jeremiahhaas567]

Wow you have a lot of gloves 🧤! Now I will have to stop at Menards on my way to work this morning. Good info thanks Chris

Yup.

[@garyziegler3034]

Hi Chris good 👍 video. I have went through a lot of gloves like you and found this glove at harbor freight called hardy and it's gray on top and yellow rubbery on the inside of the hand.They fit and like your hand and fingers and for a 1.79 I love them for wood cutting. God bless and stay safe

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tip! Are they warm?

[@JamieIppolito]

I ordered those same KAMORI gloves from Acme Tools online after seeing you use them at the commercial property: $16 shipped. They are great for using with chainsaw -- great grip, warm enough and not too thick. Wells Lamont store on Amazon has some good ones, specifically: Men's FX3 Extreme Dexterity Blue Winter Work Gloves which are fleece lined and have held up well even using the splitter, $18 (they also make non-winter version in same product line). And then, Wells Lamont HydraHyde $16 which are good mild/cold weather ones. I use sno-seal on most of my leather gloves which helps with waterproofing and seems to make them not wear out quite as fast. Great video, I am going to check out those Kincos which i see on Amazon for $18.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching and commenting, it is always good to get more input on others experiences too! See you here again tomorrow Jamie!

Morning Chris. I have Kinco un insulated Pig skin gloves. Pick them up at the local hardware store. They lasted 2 years so far with minimal wear. They do look like a football in the palms. My hands will get cold in January and February working outside for a long period of time. They’re great when hand splitting rounds with the Fiskars 27” splitting axe. Keep those hands safe👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, I like them too!

[@rustymiller2855]

Hey chris I got a pair of gloves from a friend that works for the gas company here in PA. They are amazing gloves. I've had them for 2 years and they are still in decent shape. I have misplaced them but if I can find them I'll get you the name of them. Not recommended to wear in the warm months 👍

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Rusty!

[@jameschandler2776]

WOW that is a lot of gloves. I probably have close to that many but they are all over the house and there are no 2 that match.

Uhh yeah, agree 150% on the Kincos. I've been talking about them in the firewood chats for a long time. I have a saw dealer down the road that sells almost exclusively Kincos. If I see them at a great price I'll leave you a comment. Kincos all the way

Thank Tom! I'll see you here tomorrow!

[@tonykeller2839]

Very good video on gloves!! I use the kinco double palmed cowhide open cuff I get at a farm and fleet type store for around 5 or 6 bucks!!! They wouldn’t keep your hands warm in your coldest weather and they are hot in our warmest weather!! They don’t like to get wet either, haha!! But they wear pretty good and fit well enough to give quite a bit of dexterity!! I have the same problem with certain fingers blowing out first and on my right hand, haha!! By the way, you do a great job with your conversation(speech delivery) in front of the camera!! It enhances your channel greatly!!!👍👏

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Tony, I'm just being myself, a little weird. Gloves are always a challenge!

[@garyziegler3034]

They are not a winter glove , but I am sure you would find use for them. I used one pair all last year and not one finger hole. The yellow part started coming off which comes from a lot of use. You use that splitter a lot so I think they would be ideal for that and cutting. I love them.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Cool, I'll checkem out!

[@crazyman3157]

Kinco’s all the way. I work at a lumber yard and those gloves are the best hands down. None cuffed, meaning the wrist hugging style are the way to go. 👍🏻

The Showa Atlas are what I use. I've seen a few comments on them already. I see they have a gray insulated version that would probably be good for winter. I'm going to order a pack of those soon. I ordered a 12 pack of the blue ones a couple months ago and I'm still on my first pair. I've worn that first pair for firewood and general farm work as well.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes, I might need to get some of them too! Thanks Jeff!

[@patrickmeyer9419]

KINCO is THE BEST. Open cuff are a non starter for me in pretty much any application. But once I found Kinco it is my go to especially for firewood. The thin pigskin gloves or coated fronts are nice for warmer weather though for sure.

[@edjackson8425]

I wear 2 types of gloves, one for running a chainsaw and one for handling wood. For chainsaw I use Wells Lamont Premium Work Gloves, unlined leather. Costco 3 pack for about $20. I put Obenauf’s leather conditioner on them which is waxy and improves the grip and sheds water. For handling firewood I have been using the gauntlet style leather with a cloth back. No particular brand. They all wear out the finger tips. Interestingly the left hand always wears out first. I’ll have to try the Kinco pig skins.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the info Ed, I'll have to check out Costco!

[@jandblawncare8570]

Thanks for sharing. Im going to try gloves police officers sometimes wear that are puncture proof and some are lined. You can go to Gall's and check out different types. Im going to try a brand called Ringers...gel padding, extra cut resistance on palm and fingers and have a nice cuff.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for watching Peter!

[@philgriswold2133]

My first thought was that Kinco needs to send you a case of gloves. I use what I've always called railroad gloves but they are basically the ones you had that are 3pr for $6.99. I get them at Walmart, but also Dollar General has them for just a little more and it's much easier to get in and out and there is a DG on every street corner down here. I think in many cases glove cost and glove wear is pretty straight line. In other words, you kind of get what you pay for. They odd thing is I'm right-handed but always wear out the left glove first.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Well then Phil, we need to trade lefts and rights! Yes, most gloves over $13-15 and up are pretty good. If you can get 3 pair for $6 well you have what I call one day gloves.

[@Back40Firewood]

Useful information, thanks Chris. We use the Kinco gloves for ski gloves here in New Zealand at the club fields, where we have rope tows. They shred normal ski gloves, even leather ones.. Except in really cold conditions they work great and last well. We pay about $50NZ for them. I must try and track down a cheaper source so I can use them for fire wooding.

Those yellowish leather gloves at Tractor Supply. They're not supper thick but they're also not bulky and they do a great job since they're leather. Eventually you get a split in a finger but they're only like $10 - $13. They are my favorite for cutting, splitting, and stacking. They're also one of the few I can get there in 2X.

Great video Chris. From a self professed hoarder, why you keepin’ all them old gloves???😂.

I've had the best luck with suede looking cowhide gloves, as far as grip and durability. Biggest issue is once they get wet from working in snow, the grip goes away and they're pretty cold. I'm going to have to try some pigskin, maybe with a thin liner material.

I use thin leather roping gloves for around the house. They fit snug and are durable. I THOUGHT they bere durable, until i worked at UPS! Sliding cardboard boxes across my hand nine thousand times a day tore them UP in a week. Leather also gets cold. The knit rubber dipped gloves work GREAT for everything and last a long time. They smell like feet pretty quick, but they wash good. I hate the latex dipped thin ones, way too slippery.

I never wore gloves, even flatbed trucking, until about 8 months ago when eczema got rhe better of me. Now my hands tear open just thinking about work. I used to have tough hands ✋. Now they are wimpy

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, ya gotta protect the money makers!

[@stevez3041]

Great video! I dont have experience with these more high dollar gloves but if anyone is feeling spendy look into giver brand gloves in jackson hole Wyoming. I would love to try them but haven't opened up the wallet yet.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Sounds like they might be custom gloves?

[@stevez3041]

@@InTheWoodyard Looks to me that they come in standard sizes but I would guess they can do custome work for special needs.

[@trcass1]

thanks for sharing. i wish i had seen this earlier today. i have put so much duct tape on my gloves, it made me laugh when i saw yours. never heard about doing the shoe goo though. i'll have to try it. gonna look for the kinco gloves at our local tractor supply and ace hardware. thanks again

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yup, the KINKO pig skin is what I like best.

I was thinking we’d see mouse pelt backed choppers for mountain manning the trapping line.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That's a good idea!

[@atskooc]

Somebody give this man a hand!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Brian I can always use a n extra hand!

[@atskooc]

@@InTheWoodyard I’d love t come give you one, but I’m too far away and the four cords in my yard right now would think I no longer cared about them.

I use the blue palm atlas gloves that another person stated. On Amazon they are SHOWA 300L-09 Atlas Fit 300 Rubber-Coated Gloves. Works to about $2 a pair. But I have repaired a lot of other gloves like you did. With as many gloves you have it would be easy to cut off the finger part of one that’s not worn out or a piece of the leather and glue it on with this stuff. It’s called Tear Mender. Bish’s original. I use it to patch gloves and put patches on pants. It only works with fabric or leather. Wash my pants they never come off or edges come up. You should definitely give it a try and get some some more milage out of them.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks for the tip I'll check it out!

[@tpctrash]

@@InTheWoodyard don’t have to worry about that stuff sticking to your fingers when working with it. Just rub your fingers together and comes right off. I think it’s liquid latex rubber. Hope it gives you a good option.

[@TATE-d6z]

White ox. Cheap but last from last 2 years I’ve been getting them

[@InTheWoodyard]

Nice, thanks for the tips!

[@tedferry408]

A roll of duck tape goes a long way, when used with leather/cowhide gloves, in New England. Great info today.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes Ted it does help! Thanks for watching!

[@KillingerUSA]

Seems like you may have the exsperiance necessary to make this video. Haha! That's a lot of gloves you have tested. Great information!

[@InTheWoodyard]

Thanks Chris, I would think that you might know a few things about gloves too, you are the leather man!

Good morning from Grand Forks ND

[@InTheWoodyard]

Morning! How much snow do you have there now? I have a friend who lives in Oaks.

[@vdsgw52]

Costco, Wells Lamont, cowhide with material like a wetsuit, The leather lasts better than most. But they are hot and your hands sweat a lot.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Yes the rubber does not breath so you sweat.

[@surreyarborist]

Just bought a pair kinco pig skins on ebay from the US. On amazon av price to uk was 48 pounds Sterling

[@InTheWoodyard]

You'll like them! How much is that in US dollars?

[@thomasgreene5750]

The MAGID Safety at Work website sells the knit-risk pigskin gloves for $207 for a dozen pairs.

[@thomasgreene5750]

Should be "knit-wrist", not "knit-risk"

[@InTheWoodyard]

I found a new supplier!

[@wolley2012]

I had a pair of dickies brand insulated goat skin gloves awhile back. On the tag I remember the claim goat was the toughest.

[@InTheWoodyard]

That is what I found out too, I'm going to get some and report on the results!
