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.

       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?
