[TheForge] anyone ever try vibration control gloves?

[Jerry Frost]

We had them available for jack hammer or other high vibration work. I didn't 
like the ones we had, they had a gell layer to absorb the vibration but it 
meant your grip wasn't solid so it really ate my wrists and elbows. I 
suffered a lot less injury just using Monkey Grips or leathers. Knowing when 
to hand the tool off or take a break really helps too.
