FAQs

1. What is the difference between welding gloves and linesman gloves?

Welding gloves are designed to withstand high temperatures, sparks, and molten metal, providing heat resistance and dexterity for welders. Linesman gloves, on the other hand, are built for electrical work, offering insulation against high-voltage shocks while ensuring flexibility and grip for handling wires and tools.

2. Can you use welding gloves for electrical work?

No, welding gloves are not suitable for electrical work because they lack proper insulation against high-voltage currents. Linesman gloves are specifically designed with rubber or dielectric materials to protect against electrical shocks, making them the safer choice for electricians and utility workers.

3. How do you test if linesman gloves are still safe to use?

Linesman gloves should be tested regularly using an air inflation test or dielectric testing, where the gloves are inspected for cracks, punctures, or electrical leaks. Professional testing should be done every six months, and gloves should be replaced immediately if they show signs of wear or damage.

4. Do linesman gloves expire?

Yes, linesman gloves have an expiration date, typically stamped on the cuff, indicating when they should be tested or replaced. Even if they appear undamaged, the insulating properties may degrade over time, so regular testing and proper storage are essential to maintain safety.

5. Can you wash welding gloves or linesman gloves?

Welding gloves should be brushed off to remove debris and cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water to prevent leather damage. Linesman gloves can be washed with mild soap and water, ensuring they are thoroughly dried before use to maintain their insulating properties.
