Be still my weeping fingers
Aughhh is winter again and my poor fingers have been aching in the cold once more, and significantly limiting my shed time when the sun hides away behind the clouds or dips over the horizon.
I have tried a range of gloves to mitigate the issue, but they have either been warm but without offering much dexterity, or dexterous without offering much warmth.
Well that all changed last week when I popped into a hardware shop I seldom visit, and they had Ninja gloves which looked and felt promising. Now after several sessions in the chilly shed, I absolutely love them. They provide the perfect balance between being able to feel what I'm doing, whilst keeping my hands toasty. Plus their grippy palm side makes picking up heavy timbers much easier.
And if we look under the glove, I wonder what we will see...
Ooh, it looks like my hand thinks it is in a nice warm bed. Perfect.

I stumbled across the Ninja gloves a couple of years ago and am very happy with them, the GripX Ice are great for general winter use outside the shed as well and a hell of a lot cheaper than "proper" winter gloves

I use something similar myself - the ones I get are from Total Tools - not sure if these are the same make, but the style and features seem the same (Buy Beaver Ninja Grip X Nylon Gloves Large | Total Tools), and pretty much have all the advantages (for me) that LanceC mentioned.
In fact, these, and the SongHak elasticised cotton gloves are about the only ones I can tolerate using - I'm sure I'm not alone in working in a shed without the ability to accurately feel what I'm doing!

I like the Ninja gloves. Also good for gardening ... I always find the back wears out before the front but for the cost they hold up well.

Not yet. I've just recently (last couple of weeks) started keeping an eye on Gumtree for an old fire place that someone's pulled out of their house. My workshop is very pleasent when the sun shines, but this winter seems to have had a lot more overcast days, so hope to find and install one before winter is over.
Kind regards,
Lance
