Klein Tools has launched new welding gloves on Amazon.
Shown above are their new TIG welding gloves, featuring cowhide leather palm, hand, and fingers.
The gloves also have a flame-resistant cotton lining and reinforced outer wrist.

Klein Tools also launched MIG welding gloves, featuring split cowhide construction for the entire glove.
Price: $23 for the TIG gloves, $26 for MIG
Apparently Klein Tools also launched a welding jacket.
It’s interesting to see Klein enter the welding accessories industry, although it’s not quite clear what they can offer end users that can’t already be found from existing brands.
Klein had previously teased that “automotive” tools were “coming soon,” but it doesn’t look like that has happened yet.
I wonder what product categories Klein Tools will enter next. What I do know is that I never would have guessed “welding accessories.”

I prefer pigskin, deer hide, or elk hide for gloves over cowhide. If you do a lot of welding when it is hot, your sweat will cause cowhide to stiffen after it dries out, the leathers I listed will not (well, pigskin a little, but not nearly as much as cowhide).

Thanks for the interesting insight and information I was not aware of.

In our remodeling and plumbing businesses, we had the habit of buying work gloves in bulk – based on price – but from reputable USA brands. In our fabrication business – my old inventories seem to indicate a preference for the Tillman brand of welder’s gloves. Amazon lists the Tillman 850 (elk skin) for $54 – so these Klien’s are less than half the price
