The best option is to wear warm gloves, then take them off to do everything anyway.

[@RadDadisRad]

I wear the thin ones under the leather ones. Do all my parts gathering so I can wear them all. Then I take the leathers off while I work. If my hands get too cold I just go get more material or throw my trash away.

[@ebabdbgbbbebbluesman6115]

I do this alot, mostly have to remove left glove only for nails and screws. If you handle tools that are solid metal, like a nail gun, you need very warm gloves. I always keep a variety of gloves in the truck for 6 months out of the year. Handy andys, Chili grips, to medium leathers, up to thinsulate doeskins. Wells lamont is my friend.

[@innesdundas6487]

personally I prefer to put my gloves and climb up the ladder and by the time you are at the top your gloves are soaking wet so you cant use them again

[@BigKeithDog]

I keep my gloves in my inside coat pocket. I work bare handed until I can't take it anymore and put my hands in the gloves just to warm them up.

pro tip thin cotton gloves as the first layer, latex gloves as the second, and normal work gloves as the third. the outer layer is mostly to protect the latex, the latex keeps your hands warm, and the cotton gloves wick away the sweat and keeps the sweat from freezing the latex to your body

[@zacharycocker3602]

@bu tre I always layer with latex in the winter and just smile when others complain about cold hands lol 😆 the cotton underneath is a great idea I never considered tho. Thank you

Winter starts when youre buying a coffee.. Too hot to drink driving to work.. When you get out of the truck and do something for 5 minutes on site, its already ice cold..

Seriously, thin wool gloves and uninsolated rubber gloves when put together are brilliant. The wool leads away the moisture from sweat and keeps warm and the rubber gloves protect against wind and water. Wool overall is a must for me in wintertime.

@@news2383 Ordinary leather gloves over thin work gloves. Because they don't have shit that really fits all that well and we work with fiddly fuckery most of the time so wearing over-sized thick gloves is just going to be annoying.

Get a radiant heater. They have them as Dish and other forms on Amazon. And if you are staying in one place for awhile, then get one of those hanging dish radiant heater and hang it over your area to keep you warm like the sun over head. Having a radiant heater is like having the sun shining on you. It could be cold as hell but when the sun comes out, the heat from the sun keep you warm. Same as a fireplace where the radiant heat from the fire keep you warm. So it is the same with these radiant heater.
