Thanks to material innovation and technological advancements, the modern welding glove doesn’t have much in common with those from 30 years ago. These days, glove manufacturers have access to higher performing materials and better sewing patterns. But with so many options on the market, how do you know which ones are the best welding gloves for your application? Here are five questions you should ask yourself when choosing your next pair of welding gloves.
TIG welding is the best option when you’re looking for precision – like on a structural weld. If you are looking to create a clean, precise bead that needs little or no grinding or smoothing then choose this style of welding. These highly-technical welds work great for short runs and on a variety of metals including aluminum, stainless steel and zinc anneal.
