Great hack man 🤙

Ive got a grommet set, lots of bronze grommets. I was thinking, "the perfect solution to storing all my welding gloves!" Then the realization set in. I think i need bone grommets...

[@CognitiveHeatsink]

Just buy the gloves that have loops built in. Much safer. Anyway, I've never heard of a bone grommet. I'm assuming it is a non-conductive and non-flammable material and that is why you suggested it.

[@samuelmellars7855]

​@@CognitiveHeatsinkit's bone. If you set that on fire, you likely have bigger problems

[@keatoncampbell820]

@@CognitiveHeatsink precisely! The loops that come on the welding gloves I get are one of the most annoying things I've dealt with in a shop. But I can sew some on that don't suck. That's a very good idea lol ig the fumes are getting to me

[@tommy8716]

Nice idea. Why not put the hole on the back of the glove though? The front of the glove is usually doing to be facing the action, so it might be better to put the hole on the back side

[@redclayadventures]

It really wouldn’t matter. What I’ve noticed is that the bottom inside corner of the glove rarely makes contact with my wrist that’s why I put it there.

[@CognitiveHeatsink]

Don't do this. This is dangerous for the same reason you don't wear metal wedding rings or watches while working with tools. You could get electrocuted or the glove could get caught in machinery. Maybe it would be safer with non-conducting materials, but I still wouldn't wear those. Buy the gloves that have a loop built in. They are designed to rip off before your hand gets ripped off.

Nonsense.

[@redclayadventures]

I understand where your coming from but this hack is just meant to be able to keep up with your gloves. If the grommet gets you electrocuted and you were wearing leather gloves it was gonna happen regardless, rubber gloves are used when dealing with electricity. If your glove gets caught in machinery the grommet wasn’t the issue. On top of all that this was meant for gloves used in a farming or camping type situation. The grommets is not going to be an issue when mending fence, digging post holes, running chainsaws, collecting fire wood or for picking up lids and pots off an open fire.
