Welding Gloves – If you weld, your hands are on the front line. They face intense heat, flying sparks, molten metal, and constant abrasion — day in, day out.

MIG welding gloves are designed for one purpose: handling extreme heat and heavy spatter. MIG welding produces a hotter arc and generates more sparks than TIG, so MIG gloves are usually made with thicker leather and lined for heat insulation.
Typical features of quality MIG welding gloves:
If you work in structural steel, shipbuilding, or heavy fabrication, MIG welding gloves UK are your go-to choice. They may feel bulkier than TIG gloves, but that’s a trade-off for safety when dealing with heavy spatter and prolonged heat exposure.
Example use cases:
TIG gloves are all about precision and control. TIG welding involves much lower amperage than MIG, and the key to success is manipulating the filler rod and torch with absolute accuracy. This demands a glove that is light, flexible, and allows maximum finger movement.
Typical features of quality TIG welding gloves:
TIG gloves are not designed for heavy spatter exposure — if you try to use them for MIG work, you’ll burn through them quickly. However, for aluminium welding, stainless work, and intricate fabrication, they’re essential.
Example use cases:
Best for aluminium welding, stainless fabrication, and intricate TIG projects.
A welding gauntlet refers to any glove with an extended cuff designed to protect the wrist and forearm. Most MIG welding gloves are gauntlet-style, but there are gauntlets made for stick and flux-core welding too.
Benefits of welding gauntlets:
If your work involves a lot of overhead welding or positions where sparks fall onto your arms, a welding gauntlet UK is the safest option.
