Hi Guys,
This might, on the face of it, seem a pretty hare-brained question.
How many of you guys in your day to day work as Electricians wear work gloves?
I happened to be at the local electrical suppliers today and one of my former colleagues was buying a pair of Millwaukee work gloves.
I asked him about this and he said "Yeah, I insist on wearing these gloves, would never work without them,
especially pulling cables using power tools, they actually make you work better and probably faster, knowing
that you won't take skin off your fingers or palms"
I thought about this for a moment and them grabbed a pair for myself, just to try out.
Good Lord, he was right!!, when you don't have to worry about hurting your hands, you DO work faster.
I mean, a lot of us here are probably a bit old-school and wouldn't ever be seen wearing gloves unless they were insulated or welding gloves, have a gander at them.
To be fair, when I was an apprentice, we did the odd commercial install and that meant cable tray, some of the edges
on that stuff were like razor blades, we were given Kevlar gloves and once I finished my time, I completely forgot about them sorts of gloves.
What are your thoughts on the use of work gloves?
Cheers,
Mike T.
