Tillman Tools Gloves

These John Tillman Exact Fit Pearl and Gold gloves are some of the best work gloves I’ve used. The fit is snug and secure, giving me excellent control and dexterity for detailed work. They don’t bunch up or slip, even during long shifts. The leather is tough but flexible, and they’ve held up great through welding, grinding, and handling materials. No tears, no seam failures — just solid protection and comfort. The pearl and gold design adds a bit of style too, which is a bonus. Highly recommend these if you want gloves that can take a beating and still feel good at the end of the day!

Only had these for a day, but I'm very pleased. I'm reviewing the design of the glove more than the particular gloves I recieved. I've had the winter versions of these gloves on the past(blue and yellow and white). I can say they are hands down the best winter working glove available of you want a mix of warmness, dexterity, and lifespan. Nothing touches them. There. May be other gloves that are better at one of those things, ie Blackhawk winter gloves, but the thin leather means they last 2 weeks instead of 6 months these winter gloves last. Enough about the winter gloves. Enter these Black gloves. The same design as winter gloves. No insulation. Large fit like a large should, so sizing is on par. They have padding in the palm, so hammers and drywall don't wear you down as fast. With reinforced finger tips and the palm, the key points where gloves wear out now last twice as long. Only downside being dexterity(holding a screw in your hand). These gloves are still fully able to shoot screws and nails, but it's not really possible to hold a handfull and feed them at the same time. Tying wire for concrete is totally possible, without any notice that you have gloves. These are perfect for packing drywall. Rock eats gloves, usually it's the fingertips or the inside of the webbing between your thumb and finger. I can't reccomend these enough

I use the gloves for tig welding and these gloves are really comfortable and the padded fingers stop the electrode from burning your fingers but still give you a good amount of dexterity to do what you need. They feel tight on your hands but still protect them from the heat. I'm using amps from 40-180 and haven't had a problem at all. A month or so strong and I know i'll continue to use them. The only thing I don't like is having to strap and unstrap the cuffs but I can deal with that since these gloves have made a difference for me at work from preping work, welding, and moving things around I never have to take them off.

I have purchased several pairs of these over the years. They fit good and are not too bulky which allows for good dexterity. I really like the Velcro wrist straps. They will keep them nice and snug but can also be used to keep the gloves open a bit when it is hot. I use these for all sorts of chores around our property and also wear them when riding my dual sport motorcycle. Also keep a pair under the seat of my truck to have on hand. Definitely recommend. I am hard on gloves but these have held up well.

I love these gloves. I'm a tig welder and do a little bit of mig welding here and there and these gloves are the ones I keep coming back to. They're not great for mig as they do have some polyester on the top of the hand and sides of the fingers, making them more susceptible to burning and melting if a berry lands on them. For tig welding, they cannot be beat. They are passed in the right places and the goat akin OS very soft. Dexterity is no problem. They are great for general work as well. Very tough and rugged.

I love the way these fit and feel so I keep buying them. Have had probably 15 pair over the last 10 years. I am not a pro welder, only a hobbiest, so if you're using them every day they will shrink fast due to the heat so you will probably go through a lot of them. I do mainly TIG welding and like the feel and the dexterity they allow. I love'm but they don't last long.

I purchased the John Tillman & Co. 1490L gloves last year as a gift for my husband who farms full time. Over the years he has tried almost every brand of glove out there but this Tillman brand is now his #1 choice. They are slightly stiff straight out of the packaging but he said that only after a few uses, they conformed to his hands and are well-fitted. They are also flexible and have a good grip. He highly recommends them as comfortable, sturdy gloves that hold up well. He was very pleased to see them under the Christmas tree again this year!

I originally used the winter blue gloves for welding. They are lined and therefore thicker than the yellow pair. I wanted a cooler pair for my climate with the same leather thickness and durability as the blue pair which I finally put a couple of holes in at key points. The holes were mostly due to grinding and pinching-not from general welding. They lasted about 4 years and would have gone on much longer if not for my abuse. I got the best pair I could find that were similar (summer version) locally at Home Depot. I immediately found that they were not nearly as good. Looked up Tillman and found what I was looking for at a price only slightly higher than the best ones I had gotten at Home Depot. Got the lighter summer ones from Amazon and put them to work upon arrival. Very happy to say the least! The only detraction between the summer and winter Tillmans is the top hand cover. The winter blue has more leather over the back of the hand. The summer yellow has more mesh and therefore more chance for slag to burn through. But of course that is not a problem for a good welder-which is not me.

Great gloves for TIG welding, very soft and flexible.
