Ive really been enjoying my new pair of fingerless sailing gloves. Great for rigging, pushing boxes, and still have the fine dexterity of placing screws for carpentry. What really drew me to them is the fact that they only expose half of the finger tip.

Other than my Torchwear Welding gloves. ...Thats just for luxury...
Actually, what I like to use for shop gloves is just old tillman tig gloves. Theyre rugged, soft, dexterous and cheap
