The Techniweld SM600 Deerskin TIG Welding Gloves are a premium safety solution designed specifically for the rigorous demands of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). In TIG welding, the operator requires an exceptional balance of protection and tactile sensitivity to manipulate the torch and feed filler rod with precision. The SM600 addresses this need by utilizing high-grade North American deerskin leather. Deerskin is renowned in the industrial safety market for its unique physical properties; it is naturally soft, pliable, and offers superior dexterity compared to cowhide or pigskin alternatives. This allows the welder to feel the slightest movements of the wire, ensuring consistent bead profile and penetration.
Structurally, the SM600 features a keystone thumb design, which is an ergonomic construction that allows for independent movement of the thumb, significantly reducing hand fatigue during extended welding sessions. The glove is unlined at the palm to maintain maximum sensitivity, a critical requirement for fine amperage control and intricate fabrication work. To ensure longevity and structural integrity under thermal stress, the entire glove is stitched with Kevlar® thread. Kevlar® provides high tensile strength and resists burning or melting when exposed to sparks or radiant heat, preventing premature seam failure.
Protection is further enhanced by a split leather gauntlet cuff. This cuff extends protection past the wrist and onto the forearm, shielding the operator from UV radiation and minor sparks without compromising the flexibility of the hand. The XL sizing is tailored to fit operators with larger hands comfortably, preventing the constriction of blood flow or movement that can occur with ill-fitting PPE. The SM600 represents a professional-grade choice for aerospace, automotive, and general fabrication environments where precision is paramount.
