Hey X I am interested in the gloves. Not looking for a free box (don't meet your requirements) but I am interested in them. Any more info on the type, brand, where to find them?

Send me an e-mail of your name and address and I'll send you one pair.
I'll post the "where" you can buy them later.

Shite X I deleted that post as I did not want to come across as a FUKKIN dufus but here is what I wrote before hitting the sack. Been trying to pick your brain and see what makes ya tick because you are so vocal here. Think you are a lot like me and you get TAKEN the wrong way because of your straight forward abrasive style. Like me you are quite opinionated, hot headed but then cool down quickly and don't hold grudges. We seem to share the similar desire to succeed at what we do and have a perfectionist trait. As for the fitness thread I wrote something similar saying that I eat everything in sight and lots of junk but I am so hyper that I don't put on weight although at nearly 45 I feel like I am slowing down a bit. Wife also tries to make me and our baby son eat healthy, she succeeds with him but not quite with me. As for work, you have more experience by far and we climb and work in different trees ( trees down here are broad canopied and heavy hard wood with unusual shapes and very small drop zones and then the dreaded friggin palms ) because of where we live but I am a slave driver with high standards who can out work most men half my age using very limited equipment. Old school ( no chipper cranes etc ) except for climbing, I am a work horse and that is all I do for fitness now although I used to run a lot till I tore my miniscus. Cut to the chase,we share some similar traits and therefore we may clash, no biggie but for what it's worth you are an Ok dude from what I can see. Took me a lot to say that I ain't too sentimental but I feel a kinship to the dudes on here because we all love tree work. Hope ya read this as I know it's long winded but I felt the urge to say it. So don't spit on the screen. Or rip my chest cavity out I am too old for that action anymore.
That's cool.

Hey X, I'm in. Sent you an email via the addy on your website.
We'll give a good run with the workload coming up!

Okay cool. I see some in my e-mail. I'm not ignoring them, will read them Sunday likely.
Finally dry ground, so trying to bang out lots of jobs that have been waiting all winter for frozen or dry ground.
Saturday usually is my all day estimate day, but doing estimates half day and crane removals later half.
So... another long day.
read stuff on Sunday. Relaxing tonight, just reading a few things, nothing that i need to think much about.
Swingdude, yup, I see a resemblance, as I do with many on here, that's why I come here; to be with "my kind".

Okay, long story short, i went to buy these gloves from my previous supplier, the business was closed up, for good.
I now found a supplier again for these gloves. (the new supplier said the other one probably closed up because they sold too much stuff too cheap).
I placed a huge order to get the price down to near what I quoted you guys.
They are being delivered tomorrow to my business.
since I stated 6 or $7.00, that is what i will sell them to those that wrote me. THIS TIME.
plus I will send out the freebies like I agreed.
In the future, more orders will have to be $8.50 a pair.
I found that these gloves normally cost $9.66 a pair.
Future orders are going to have to be 12 pair at a time, or it will not be worth it. Well, still probably isn't worth it, but we will try it.
I will send the contact of the company name and contact info for you to buy more, at $8.50 a pair if you wish to buy more in the future. AND I'm sure you will.
Cheap rubber dipped gloves run anywhere from $1.95 to around $7.00 a pair.
You guys use these I'm sure. And if you do and you are like me, if you have a long day of climbing, the gloves have chunks of rubber missing out of the glove on the FIRST day.
Once a peice of rubber is missing, they start getting sucked into your prussic knot and all kinds of stuff, deteriorating fast.
Well, what if you had the feel of a new rubber dipped glove, but it wouldn't lose rubber for like two months?
It is Kevlar, but very thin. The rubber is molded into the fiber it appears. Not a coating on top like all the cheap ones.
I did nick one with the handsaw once, it's not cut proof, it did cut easily with the Silky. Didn't get my skin though.
I think the kevlar is just to make them last a long time, don't expect saw protection. Good for bark protection though.
When you guys get them, use them hard and let others know what you think. I will likely start shipping out this weekend.
Thanks,

Hey X you still offering gloves? I'm interested but don't know how to navigate pay pal. Tree smart (sorta) and computer stupid. I chew through Ironclad Gripworx in about 3 weeks and it's gotten expensive.

And for what it's worth, if they last a month, or three, I wouldn't mind paying $10 or $15 for them.
I just picked up a pair of Ansel brand nitrile on kevlar last night at Menards. 9 bucks. X do these compare to ur gloves? I'ma Run em hard on Monday.

I think I've been using the same kind of gloves, just without the Kevlar. The cotton/nylon backing was trashed after about two months but there was more rubber left than on the last half dozen nitrile gloves I've used. Just like X-Man says, the rubber doesn't flake off and jam your hitch.

Awesome, any info on all the different types? The ansel site has about 10-15 different ones, I'm about to slowly work my way through all of them one by one till I find the best one.
since i started this thread, hopefully i can end it too!

I will be sending free gloves to all those that offered to buy them and have been waiting.
This month.
There should be boxes of them available at the TCI Expo Baltimore also, at booth #306, Xtreme Arborist Supply Inc.
I saved everyone's email that wanted some, in a separate folder and will go through it and send out free ones.
We continue to use them and have never found a better glove, been searching for a good, cheap long lasting glove that is tight for a climber..... for 17 years now, didn't find them until this year.
Our ground guys love them too.
Sorry for the wait, I am a tree service owner and can't find the time to sell products, but that is changing I think, I will be getting help....

So short of buying them at Tcia expo, is there any other way as of yet to get them?
