Sure most of us wear PPE like chaps and hardhat/ears. but how many of you actually wear hand and/or shoulder protection (stihl protective shirt).
look at this chart of accidents. note hands receive almost identical number of accidents as leg area. Chaps are readily available most any supply house. but look for a usable pair of protective gloves.
they are hard to find... stihl's glove is really a mitt. who can use a mitt to handle most wood and climb too?
anyways.. ended up finding of all places. Harbor freight tools, a nice pair of kevlar backed gloves for $10. good dexterity, have not done a cut test yet. first pair is almost worn out at finger tips. will be doing a cut test after buying another pair.
