Tractor Supply Gloves???

[Harold Hubbard]

I was in Tractor Supply yesterday. They had a display of gloves six feet high and maybe eight feet long, not a single pair of insulated, or even lined gloves. I wasn’t specifically looking for gloves, so I didn’t tour the rest of the store to see if winter gloves were somewhere else.

Gloves are now used for more than keeping hands warm in winter, they are often considered essential safety equipment that is worn year round. These are light duty "mechanics gloves" that protect the hands from minor cuts and scrapes yet offer tactile ability for fingers that bulky winter gloves do not. They are worn in shops and on job sites where warmth in winter is not the primary concern. Because of this they are not as seasonal as winter gloves are and you will find them being promoted throughout the year.

@ all the TSC's around here, the winter gloves are part of the seasonal winter clothes displays.

Most of the mechanics gloves I see are made of something that will melt and stick yo your skin if doing anything involving heat so I chose leather.

The black ones used to be a buck a pair. Now they are at 2 bucks a pair but still a great value and a great, comfortable glove, great snug but soft fit, that works when you need to protect your hands yet feel things you are handling.

I buy them by the dozen at TSC. Brown ones for the summer, heavier yellow ones for winter.

Filling a wood furnace with wood and a good fire still blazing will help a person figure out which gloves will protect hands from cold. The heat transference happens real quick on straight leathers, even with some lining, jerseys not so quick, but the best are a combination of cloth, covered with leather. The old railroad switchman gloves are the best for protection from heat/cold and smashing a hand against the hot door of the furnace.

TSC no longer caters to the working man.

They make their money from HOA chicken farmers and uptown horse women.

I have a pair of Wells-Lamont insulated work gloves that I have had for at least fifteen years, and they are still in very good condition. Due to Raynauds syndrome warm gloves are very important to me. TSC shows these gloves at $16.99. They could be the most cost effective article of clothing that I have ever owned. I gave up on five day mechanic type gloves last year and went back to leather. the leather ones cost twice as much but last ten times longer.

That must be where the money is.

Funny how most businesses figure that out.

So then is this just another "Things ain't like they used to be and the whole world sucks" post? What state and town was this TSC in? I'll drive there and look for them for you since you said you didn't bother to look anywhere else in the store.

Don't HOA chicken farmers and uptown horse women have hands?

Just bought 2 pair of insulated gloves at local tsc. On sale. Plenty to pick from. Already have a real nice pair i got there several years ago. Eanted couple more pair to leave in truck/gator. Sometimes here decide i could use some gloves after i leave the house. TSC about only place in town to carry XL size gloves. And no. TSC not same store as 50 years ago. But then neither is clients that shop there.

I said I wasn’t looking for gloves. If I was I would have at least asked somebody where to find them. I was just sure that the obvious glove display didn’t have all types.

I know what you mean, I did the same thing about a week ago, TSC is a disappointment all around in my eyes

And need to protect them, especially the pretty nails.

All my gloves come from Harbor Freight, and have for years.
