Predator PRED4 Heavy Duty Leather MIG Welding Gloves
The Predator PRED4 MIG Welding Gloves are heavy-duty leather welding gloves designed to provide excellent hand protection, durability and comfort during MIG welding, ARC welding, fabrication, engineering and general metalwork.
Manufactured from high-quality split leather, these professional welding gauntlets feature a reinforced double-layer palm and thumb, providing additional protection and padding in the areas exposed to the most wear. This makes the PRED4 an excellent choice for welders looking for durable leather welding gloves capable of standing up to demanding workshop and industrial environments.
The gloves are stitched using Twaron® heat-resistant thread, helping increase the working life of the glove when exposed to the heat and sparks associated with welding. A 100% cotton liner across the palm and fingers provides additional comfort and heat protection, while the elasticated back helps provide a secure fit during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Kevlar-stitched welding gloves better for durability?
Kevlar thread maintains integrity up to approximately 425 degrees Celsius, so seams last longer under heat than cotton or nylon.
Do welding sleeves need to be flame-resistant?
Absolutely, they should be leather or FR fabric certified to BS EN ISO 11611 or BS EN ISO 11612.
Can I use general work gloves for welding?
General gloves are not tested to BS EN 12477 or BS EN 407 and will quickly burn, shrink, or let molten metal through.
Do TIG gloves offer the same protection as MIG gloves?
TIG gloves favour dexterity, so they provide less spatter and heat resistance than MIG or stick welding gloves and should not be used for high-amp processes.
What heat protection level should welding gloves offer?
Look for at least Contact Heat Level 2 under BS EN 407 (250 degrees Celsius for 15 s) plus the molten metal and radiant heat performance required by BS EN 12477.
What type of gloves should be used for MIG and TIG welding?
MIG: heavier cow or goatskin gloves certified to BS EN 12477 Type A; TIG: thinner deerskin or goatskin gloves certified to Type B for feel.
How long do welding gloves last?
The lifespan of welding gloves varies depending on usage and care. Generally, they can last from a few months to over a year. Regular inspection for wear and tear, along with proper cleaning and storage, can help extend their durability.
How to choose a welder?
When choosing a welder, consider the type of welding you'll be doing (MIG, TIG, or Stick), the materials you'll work with, and your skill level. Look for a machine with the right amperage range, portability, and safety features. Don’t forget to check reviews!
How to MIG weld for beginners?
To MIG weld as a beginner, start by setting up your welder with the correct wire and gas. Clean the metal surfaces, then adjust the voltage and wire feed speed. Hold the torch at a 15-degree angle, maintain a steady speed, and practice on scrap metal to improve your technique.
Metals and how to weld them?
Welding metals involves understanding their properties. Common types include mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. Use MIG for mild steel, TIG for stainless, and MIG or TIG for aluminium. Always ensure proper preparation, safety gear, and suitable filler materials.
What equipment do welders use?
Welders use various equipment, including welding machines (MIG, TIG, and stick welders), protective gear (helmets, gloves, and aprons), gas cylinders, welding rods, and accessories like clamps and wire brushes. Proper tools ensure safety and quality in welding projects.
What is a duty cycle on a welder?
The duty cycle on a welder refers to the percentage of time it can operate within a specific period, typically 10 minutes, without overheating. For example, a 60% duty cycle means the welder can run for 6 minutes and must cool for 4 minutes.
What is amperage in welding?
Amperage in welding refers to the electric current flowing through the welding circuit, measured in amperes (amps). It determines the heat generated during the welding process, influencing penetration and bead shape. Proper amperage is crucial for achieving strong welds.
What is slag inclusion in welding?
Slag inclusion in welding refers to the presence of non-metallic solid materials, such as slag, trapped within the weld bead. This defect can weaken the weld's integrity, leading to reduced strength and potential failure. Proper technique and cleaning can help prevent it.
What is the average cost of MIG welding equipment?
In the UK, the average cost of MIG welding equipment generally falls between £200 and £5,000. Entry-level models typically start from around £200 and can reach up to £1,000, making them ideal for hobbyists or occasional use. For professionals or industrial applications, high-performance machines can surpass £5,000, depending on the brand, specifications, and advanced features. It’s also worth noting that additional accessories—such as gas regulators, wire spools, and consumables can contribute to the overall investment.
