I need heavy duty work gloves

[Walter2]

I'm looking for leather unlined work gloves that can handle a heavy work load,firewood processing,shoveling,all around hard work. I need a glove that will last. Fingers are the wearing part of the glove and need to be thick. I haven't found a glove that will last more than a week so I am wanting something that is heavy to the point it needs a break in period like a good pair of boots.
Thanks for all the help!

My local farm supply store has a better selection of gloves than most any other store. Here are two options. Buy the thickest gloves you can find...and keep buying them, or buy a pair and then sew on patches of thicker leather that covers the parts that wear out the fastest. The problem with thick fingers is that you can't bend them and grab stuff. Thick cow skin or maybe buffalo.

Try welding gloves

+2 on welding gloves.

the best leather glove in my opinion is a pigskin glove, those buggers are tough.

Heat duty? Or Heavy duty?

I wouldn't wear welding gloves for anything but handling things around a flame. Great way to get blisters using them for yard work and stuff.
I agree with the pigskin comment. A good pair can be pricy.

For yard and garden work I have a pair of Wells Lamont Deerskin gloves. They are part synthetic with leather in all the important places. A pair will usually last a season unless they get lost or run over with the lawnmower... I have a pair of insulated ones I use when building rock walls. Cushions the inevitable pinch.

Since we now have a Harbor Freight store near by, I found some leather "roping gloves" at a good price....bought several pairs and use them for outdoor work, chain saw work and wood processing.

Have been lasting very well....and a good price.
As with anything from HF, you gotta take the good with the bad......these just happen to be worth the bucks.....IMHO

I also say welding gloves. Some Tillman TIG gloves work well. Protect you from heat yet thin enough to grab items. I use mine at least 4 hours a day all week and it can get a month out of one pair easily.

I'm guessing that it's "heavy", not "heat"......Might be wrong.

They work good for heat and hold up well.
