CWS13255 - Heavy-Duty One-Finger Leather Welding Mitts

The Best of Both Worlds: Grip and Heat Shielding

Every welder knows the struggle of the "knuckle buster" jobs—those high-heat, heavy-duty welds where your standard gloves start to smoke, and your knuckles feel like they are baking. Sometimes, you need more than just a glove; you need a shield. That is where the CWS13255 Glove Welders Mitt 1 Finger comes into play. It is designed for the welder who needs the heavy insulation of a mitt but can't afford to lose the grip on their stinger or the feel of the MIG trigger.

By separating your trigger finger, this mitt gives you the freedom to work effectively without fumbling. You can easily grab a new rod, adjust your helmet, or feather a trigger, all while your other fingers stay wrapped together in a protective leather cocoon. This design keeps your hand cooler for longer because your fingers aren't isolated and surrounded by hot air; they are sharing the insulation. It is the perfect setup for running heavy flux-core wire or burning thick 7018 rods where the radiant heat is intense.

Durability is key in the shop, and these mitts are made from tough leather that resists shrinking and hardening after exposure to heat. The long gauntlet cuff fits easily over your jacket sleeves, keeping the sparks out and your wrists safe. Whether you are working in a foundry, a shipyard, or just doing some heavy structural repair, these 1-finger mitts are a tool you will want in your bag. They take the abuse so your hands don't have to, letting you focus on laying down a perfect bead rather than worrying about the heat.
