• Work glove recommendations? Mainly for carrying building materials and some heavier duty home DIY.

  • Site kf380 latex builders gloves (£1.59), good grip and feel, buy several pairs as they wear fast. De Walt dpg41 premium riggers (£6.98), leather palm, limited feel but good protection, fucking horrible if wet. Both from Screwfix, they're what I use.

  • Taffi 4x44c, they cost about a tenner a pair, but are so vastly superior to the cheap shit ones. Tight fit, thick rubber (they last ages so I just keep putting them through the washing machine when dirty), really grippy but also dextrous.

  • +1 to Colin's recommendations. The latex/dipped style were what I wore as an archaeologist if I was doing a lot of digging. They'd be grand for 99% of jobs, less restrictive than riggers. Even if they get wet and muddy, they don't feel heavy or horrible. The heavy rigger style if you happen to be doing anything particularly nasty/pointy/jaggy. I find they can cause you more issues if you're trying to do a lot of lighter work, moving around a lot and you have dainty IT nerd hands to start with, like I do nowadays.
