    Are "chainsaw gloves" really just gentleman's driving gloves?

    I use the ones on the right hand side We call them thermal gloves as they are good in cold conditions And they seem to reduce vibration

    Eucalyptus Firewood and splitting

    its not overnight or anything stupid but if it is hot and dry is will go nasty quite quickly, before you realise it.
