Any professional in the industry knows the dangers of welding. Welding exposes your hands to extreme temperatures, molten metal, and intense UV radiation that can cause serious burns in seconds. Keeping that in mind, welding gloves aren’t just protective equipment; they’re advanced tools that require precise torch control and electrode manipulation.
Different welding processes demand different protection levels. TIG welding gloves prioritize finger sensitivity for delicate work on thin materials and aluminum projects. The lower heat input of TIG allows for thinner leather construction that preserves the tactile feedback needed for precise filler rod feeding and puddle control. Our TIG welding gloves feature shorter cuffs that won’t interfere with close work while still protecting hands from arc radiation. MIG welding gloves handle higher heat levels and more spatter than TIG applications. The continuous wire feed and higher amperage settings create more intense conditions that require thicker leather and longer cuffs. MIG welding gloves need reinforced palms and fingers to withstand the repetitive motion of gun handling during production welding. Our MIG styles feature extended protection that covers forearms during overhead and vertical welding positions.
Stick welding creates the harshest conditions for hand protection. Heavy spatter, high heat, and frequent electrode changes demand welding gloves built for maximum durability. Full leather construction with reinforced seams handles the abuse of industrial welding while maintaining flexibility for the electrode holder grip. Heat-resistant thread prevents seam failure that could expose hands to burns. Professional welders understand that comfort affects weld quality. Welding gloves that restrict movement or cause hand fatigue lead to poor torch control and inconsistent results.
TIG welding gloves and MIG welding gloves each serve specific applications, but both must meet the same fundamental requirement: protecting your hands while preserving the skills that make you a craftsman. Wells Lamont has gloves for a range of industries. Take a look at our complete collection of premium gloves today.
