You need to choose the right means of protection!

When buying gloves for construction, do not expect the store to advise you on something more sensible. Sellers often have no experience in construction, and they have no interest - just to sell something. Therefore, I decided to write this article and talk about five basic rules on how to choose the right gloves.

1. Never wear black or very dark gloves. You simply will not see dirt on them, and you can close up the responsible finishing material so that you will waste a lot of time washing and cleaning it off. It is the light-colored gloves that will give you the ability to control the level of pollution. Yes, they will have to be changed more often, but this will relieve the inconvenience.

2. Any blood, burn or cut is visible on the white. In the course of work, you can easily injure yourself, and not even feel pain. On a white spot it will immediately blur, and on a black one you may not notice bleeding for a long time. That is why in the assembly shops of large companies, employees wear white uniforms.

3. Do not use synthetic gloves if you have to wear them for a long time. This material does not just melt, but is fused onto the hands. If you expose them to high temperatures, you will have to cut these gloves off your skin in the hospital - do you want them?

4. Do not buy the cheapest gloves for ten rubles. The rubber bands won't last long, and the seams will rub your hand down to calluses. In reality, the joy of saving is much shorter than the inconvenience of a terrible quality.

5. The quality of the glove will be determined by the amount of thread per inch. The best will be gloves of the 13th class, and the cheapest - "Nit4". There is a huge difference between them both in quality and in price. Thread 4-5 is a disposable commodity that will cause nothing but suffering. The 7.5 thread is the perfect solution for construction. Thick cotton gloves protect well from damage and fit comfortably on the hand. As a bonus, they will also keep you warm during the winter season. This is the golden mean in the price-quality ratio.

Class 10 is already dense knitting with a thin thread for point work, but their price is much higher. And there are much more fakes in such gloves. A Class 13 is a latex-coated precision work glove that will cost four times as much as Thread7.5 gloves. And fakes are found at every turn.

Personally, ten pairs of Thread 7.5 and ten pairs of Class 10 are enough for the whole season, even taking into account the fact that every now and then I have to help out some partner!
