    That would be funny if it didn't happen to me when I was unloading in Yuma. Twice.

    Hey your doing better than me, I usually find one on each hand after I waste a half hour cussing and looking for them. Same with tools, the one I spend FOREVER looking for is usually found in the other hand or banging the hell out of the inside of the dryer the next laundry day (How the #### does an 18" cresent make it all the way to the dryer before discovery??). And since we're (I'm) on laundry, I swear to all that is holy I have TWO feet, why the #### do I only have single socks???

    Just to get back on topic...

    I use the Wells Lamont gloves from Costco (come in a 3 pack for 20) I use 6 pairs in rotation, as soon as I feel the leather getting mushy I exchange for a nice warm pair, and so on. I find chaining(tires or loads) to be the worst case for gloves.

    These glove will go about 1 month before the finger tips get holes in them.
     
    Diesel Dave and Flatbed Valkyrie Thank this.

    I've got a little girl at home that likes to shop for daddy. Half my closet is pink or has butterflies on it, even my Stanley thermos is a pretty red. And the next truck I buy, I'll probably get talked into ordering purple.
    She keeps saying she wants a purple petetbilt to pull the what she says is the biggest skateboard in the world.

     
    tsavory, glitterglue, MJ1657 and 4 others Thank this.
