Welding Tips and Tricks

Hello All,
My name is Michael Rowland and I am a graduate student and employee at the University of Cincinnati.
I am working on a project and I am trying to gain some general knowledge of why welders select the gloves they use. Looks like must people are not loyal to any one particular brand and I am just trying to verify this information. If anyone has a minute to answer this quick survey I would appreciate it very much.
1. What type of welding glove do you use?
2. Do you use this glove exclusively?
3. If yes why? If no why are you a multi-brand user?



Please rank the following on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest)

1. How important is dexterity?
2. How important is price?
3. How important is protection?
4. How important is overall glove quality?
5. How important is comfort?
6. How important is durability?
7. How important is innovation in a welding glove?

I am currently using Tillman tig gloves
I do not use them exclusively
I usually go with what ever is the cheapest and feels the best
