Have a variety of gloves on hand

Different tasks require different gloves. Tight, thin gloves are perfect for delicate tasks like grabbing hold of small screws or twisting wires. Keep thicker gloves or mittens handy for moving equipment or hauling cold, wet material. Oversize gloves or choppers like these will fit right over your formfitting gloves, so you can keep your hands warm all day but slip the outer pair off for short periods to do detail work.
