My mountain bike hasn’t seen many single tracks lately, but my bike gloves still get a workout. I don’t recommend wearing any gloves when using jointers, drill presses, table saws or other large machinery, but they are perfect when doing benchwork, such as sanding and planing. The exposed fingertips help me keep in touch with surfaces, but the gelled palms insulate my hands from vibrations that can cause blisters, or, over time, pain and numbness.
