Anyone using anti-vibration gloves when compounding or paint correcting with a DA? Are they useful? Any particular ones recommended?

Thanks!
 
Me neither. They seem like they’d get in the way and I wouldn’t want to be touching my good white microfiber towels with them on because I imagine them being similar to typical black work gloves which are never clean.
 
Yes, I do. I use cycling gloves which have padding on the palm, they are fingerless
 
In 2015 I started using vibration reduction gloves. I liked them, but they were bulky and didn't give me a confident grip on my tools. In 2016 I started using the Griot's Garage gloves and they were perfect. I didn't wear them for one paint correction job that year and the lingering pain was enough to cement my need for them.

I recommend the Griot's Garage gloves. I wear them when using power tools and when wiping off compound residue and they work perfectly.
 
I tried but I didn't care for them,to much of a pain if I had to feel something.
I wear gloves when I weld,bale hay and log,etc etc,but I hate them on my hands detailing
 
Are the Griot's Gloves pre-curved (like bike/motorcycle/snowmobile gloves)?

After wearing motocross and snowmobile gloves for cold weather, it always makes it very apparent when gloves aren't pre-curved as the material bunches up inside your fingers/palms.

I'm really not sure. I haven't noticed any distracting "bunching" of material, but then again I haven't paid attention to it. I've had my pair for quite a while and they're pretty worn. The first thing that started to wear out was the velcro. The gloves are on their last legs now and a new pair is definitely in order.
 
IMO:
They’re very helpful for those that
suffer from Peripheral Neuropathy,
Vibration White Finger, and/or other
dibilitating nerve-affecting diseases.

Hope you are never impacted
in such a way.

I can say from long experience that having nerve issues is not fun. I've got nerve damage in both of my arms and tend to wear gloves whenever working with anything that vibrates, including holding on to a steering wheel when driving. I can't click on a computer mouse (at all) or type on a physical keyboard (for very long) and instead have to use a Microsoft Surface tablet for work. Using smartphones and tablets (instead of a conventional computer) has helped me significantly.

Last year I remember not having gloves when I drove a Nissan Altima rental car from my home in Texas to Missouri and then back again in one day. I think it was over 700 miles in less than 24 hours and feeling the vibration of the steering wheel was more than uncomfortable.

I wish you well, man. That has to be a really hard condition to deal with on a daily basis, let alone while using a machine like a polisher.

I do not use gloves while using any tool(s). But, I do own the Griot's gloves. Why, you ask? Because they put me over the limit for free shipping on their site. Lol

They are really nice gloves. Not "Pre-curved" as mentioned above, or anything astronomically better than standard, but very well made. Padding on the palms in the places you need it, soft insides, and comfortable.
