I work moving concrete blocks around. I
wear gloves out frequently, but usually
just the fingers. This is a simple idea. the
extra finger stays beyond the pinky, and
when a finger is worn out, take off the
glove and put it on again, but this time
with all the fingers in complete finger
places
( is there a word for those?). that
way, if you wear out one finger, you don't
have to get a new glove or stop and get
your duct tape. It could also come witha
spare thumb, too

do you actually need gloves? seems to me you just need *fingers* |
|
| |
has anyone propsed a system of gloves that have seperately made fingers and hands? |
|
| |
Combine finger only gloves with fingerless glove and you are onto a winner |
|
| |
or perhaps a spare set of gloves? |
|
| |
Bah! Make all fingers with velcro attachments. When one wears out, replace it with one of the numerable spares. |

All your base are belong to us! |

I think a windmill could be added here. |
|
| |
how about reversible (no top/bottom) gloves? when the
fingers wear out, just switch hands. |
|

I'm not a fan of your tactics. Instead of addressing the problem (gloves wear out the fingers), you're sort of ignoring it (add more fingers so that doesn't stop you).
However, ignoring problems have worked in the past, and if you're going through multiple pairs of gloves on a regular basis, this would be a viable solution, even if not the most viable solution. [+] |

Not fair [Zanzibar], I wanted to say that! |

Wouldn't the spare 'finger' get in the way when you are doing things? And wouldn't it look pretty silly? |
|
| |
Just turn the extra fingers and thumbs inside out, so they're tucked into the glove until you need them. |
|
| |
Make them round, with about forty fingers, radiating
like a kid-art sun, with a thumb in every fifth place.
Put Velcro on the back of the fingers so that they
can be stuck to the back of the glove and wrist, out
of the way, forming a gauntlet cuff sort of thing. |

I'm personally a fan of the seven-fingered variant. Once you have more than ten fingers to a glove, you might as well just carry spare gloves. |

Polydactyl. Probably the most (in)famous polydactyl person in history was the giant Goliath in the bible (and his brother). Or maybe Anne Boleyn. |
