I saw these pictures on the Fire and Saw FB page. They were saying they were required for professional sawyers in NZ. They are tied to the handlebar. Does anyone have any experience with these? How do you get anything done with them? Are they loose enough to slide around for felling?

Never known the Kiwis to be big on workplace safety wear but could see them requiring some medieval fingerless gauntlet looking things like this.

@bob hedgecutter on AS had those on all his saws and talked about them, but I can't recall @Kiwioilboiler discussing them too much.

Why would you want that instead of leather gloves?

That looks ridiculous. I’m constantly moving my hand placement while taking a tree apart.

Defo real.
Our nanny state legislators are of the opinion that the chain brake can't activate if your wrist top doesn't roll over to activate it on kick back.
Ergo, your hand is guided by the mitt to stay on the front handle.
It can of course move around the handle.

I had a different impression from the caption. I was thinking of the thumb and bugger picker finger with the other 3 fingers bunched together, mine came from ?Kirkland? catalog ATV and SNOWMOBILE Stuff.
long gauntlets leather palm insulated 3 finger Gortex Snow mobile winter mittens.
Or Heated handles option for the saw.
