OldGuy43 on Gloves

[OldGuy43]

I have found my all-time favorite pair of work gloves:

The Stanley 1807-50 Hi-Dex All Purpose Ergonomic Gloves. Sturdy, cool in the summer. Warm enough for Central Texas winters, comfortable and the feature I really love, (WARNING! Some will find this gross.) a snot wiper. That's right! If you'll look closely at the picture there is a piece of soft Turkish towel type of material right where the thumb joins the body, perfectly placed to wipe your nose when needed.

I have to know, does it advertise it as such? Or did you ust find out by accident?

I thought that was what shirt sleeves were for? My grandpa taught me as a youngster how to pinch one nostril shut and blow out of the other to take care of the problem. That will send delicate ladies off in disgust.

Oh you guys! What happened to carrying a tissue or handerchief in your pocket? It still works.

These are my favorite gloves to wear. They fit snug so you can feel small weeds, nails, and all kinds of tiny things. I get them from Home depot 12 pairs for $10.00, i use them at work and at home, 2 bundles will last me a whole year most of the time. I like the color of these gloves they are easy to find after I take them off and walk away, So now I only spend about 25% of my time looking for my gloves LOL. I need to figure out something for wiping my nose though HMMM!

I like the thin gloves with the latex-ish stuff on the palms made by Atlas. Same reason as Collector, you can feel tiny plants through them, and they're tough enough for weeding. ( Collector, I keep track of mine, if I ever have to remove them by stuffing them in a back pocket. that frees up more time for misplacing other tools ). And...Mary, if you're out there for hours on end, cold wind making your nose run like a broken pipe, it's easy to run out of tissues or a dry spot on your lace hanky, so I employ Hoodys age old method.
Discreetly, I hasten to add, and of course I lift my pinky ever so delicately.







...who knew there were two correct spellings for discreetly/discretely.....

I may be mistaken, but I believe that it said something about it on the tag.

Did you ever try and get a tissue or handkerchief out of your pocket while wearing gloves and operating a chainsaw?

Some things should never be put in print.
