Portwest A520 Premium Tig Welding Gauntlets – Grey – Large Size L (A520GRRL)

Description

Genuine Portwest · Part no. A520GRRL

Portwest A520 TIG welding gauntlets in grey, size large: a type B welding glove under EN 12477, with a soft goatskin palm for fingertip control and a heavier split leather cuff to keep sparks off the wrist. Every seam is sewn with DuPont Kevlar thread, which does not burn through like cotton.

Good to know

• Why a separate glove for TIG? TIG welding throws little spatter but needs you to feed filler rod and work the torch precisely, so a thin, flexible type B glove gives far better control than a thick MIG gauntlet.
• Can I use them for MIG or stick welding? For short runs, yes, but heavy spatter will wear the thin goatskin quickly; for regular MIG or arc work a thick lined gauntlet lasts longer.
• How do I make them last? Keep them dry and free of oil: oily leather can scorch, and damp leather lets heat through faster.

Which one?

Same glove in XL: Portwest A520 TIG Welding Gauntlets X Large (A520GRRXL). For MIG and stick welding, the Portwest A500 Welders Gauntlet (A500RERXL).
