Hobart 770712 Aluminized Back Hand Pad, Silver

Shields very well when doing overhead MIG 10 gauge. I was burning trough gloves and this kept my hand cool and hand protection from burning to a crisp.

If you are using Flux core these shields only last a few days of welding before they are broken down. TIG, and stick welding I get a few weeks out of the shield. However I am welding 8-10 hours a day so having that In mind they work great for the average home/farm welder. I still buy them and use them in my shop because my gloves last longer and I have less heat burns on my hands lolJK Fabrication

This is a cheap product and will not last forever. being aluminum coated the foil easily melts off with hot weld Spackle flying everywhere and the edges fray quickly. For the price it does its job for a while, which is keeping your hand protected from the heat of welding allowing me to complete numerous vertical and overhead passes without having to worry about burning my hand because i would up in a position where my hand was a little close or I want to finish the stick to get my tie-ins where I want them. You get what you pay for and this is 5 stars for the cost.

Great Product! Displaces heat and and saves your gloves. Keep in mind this is a wear and tear item, I bought my first one and it lasted about 6 months of hard use. I just ordered two more!

works good for the heat but the one strap that falls in the palm of your hand is dissinagrated in a day or 2.duck tape works longer than the strap.

It's ok it does its job but it scratches easily,and the 2nd band has already frayed and will soon fail. But it hold back 5he heat grat

I use these as an industrial structural welder. We run 1/16 Flux core wire @30 volts and around 300 IPM. It can get very hot. Of all the hand shields I have tried, these are the best. They last, they hold up, and make an excellent prop.

Works for a little while, but wears out quickly. I'd only recommend using this for occasional welding at lower temperatures. It you use it with any serious heat for more than a few hours, the reflective coating will vanish, the inside strap will disintegrate and the pad itself will periodically burst into flames.

Worn it for a few days and already starting to deteriorate but for the price that’s kind of expected. Fraying on edges, aluminum fibres coming off, strap is starting to fray as well

no good

3 days is falling apart stitching not strong enough
