Tired of taking your gloves off in the frigid
winter air? Don't bother: these gloves have
built-in fingernails. Much sturdier than real
nails, these would be totally breakproof*. A
rigid fingertip design prevents slippage, so
your fingertips are snug against them. A
custom fit might be nessecary,
but who
cares? Available in designer colors.
*Okay, so they're darned sturdy.

Baked! The nails look fairly sturdy, too. [Worldgineer, Sep 27 2005]

I got five thousand dollars, I got five thousand dollars. |
|
| |
So, is that a total of 10k? |
|
| |
I was just doing the Wayne's World dance on the empty
stage because no one was anno-ing. Nice idea. |
|
| |
I thought you were scratching off a lottery ticket with your fingernails, while wearing gloves. |
|
| |
Is it really the finger nails that give you
dexterity? I used to work in the film
industry. Some people would put tight
latex gloves over thier work gloves after
cutting of the fingers. Kept the water
out and allowed them greater dexterity
+ 5p. |
|
| |
I thought textured, rubber coated gloves served this purpose. Or are you looking specifically for letter opening gloves or nail prying gloves? |
|
| |
Also, the only reason real fingernails actually work to pry stuff up or open is because they are attached to the finger via a nail bed. How do you propose this is gonna work when the nails are merely attached to a cloth glove? |
|

I like your username. it makes me feel all warm and shakespearean inside... : ) |
|
| |
i commend ophello and his baking frequency |
|
| |
I thought the "rigid fingertip design" would
solve this problem. |
|
| |
I found this site a few days ago. I've got a
knack for ideas, I s'pose. |
|
| |
Oh, I suppose it does. Could you just give me one or two examples of why you would need nails on gloves? I can't picture it. Also, are these gonna damage the car when I try to open the door? |
|
| |
It's one of those funny things that we don't
know we need 'til we're in the moment we
need them. I personally cannot recollect an
exact example, but I know for certain I've
had to take my gloves off becuase they
didn't have fingernails. |
|
| |
i second [ol'fellow]'s need. hard fingertips on gloves wuld be useful, nails less so, but still a novel improvement. |
|
| |
ophello: you beginning to talk to yourself? Anyway, the only real way to test whether gloves with fingernails would actually work, would be to build a prototype and see. |
|
| |
I'm thinking you should take some old gloves and try gluing various kinds of "nails" on them, and report back on the results. I'm also thinking you want the "nail" to run to at least the second knuckle to give you enough leverage, but perhaps you could experiment with that too. |
|
| |
As to things that require fingernals: picking coins off the ground, taking lens caps off cameras, picking your nose. No, wait, I don't do that last one. Ever. Honest. |
|
| |
If you did, gloves with nails might be useful for sanitary reasons. Especially if you're a doctor. Or eating a very spicy curry. |
|
| |
Nice one. Welcome to halfbakery.com! |
|
| |
Would this do anything to the sales of toilet paper? |
|

Please explain this "WTAGIPBAN". |

Wasn't That A Good Idea Posted By A Newbie. It means you've made [krelnik]'s list. Click on his name to see the rest of the list, along with a great newbie guide. |

| |
What happened to [krelnik]? Check his link! He's gone. |
|

Since nobody's mentioned it, gloves with fingernails would be very useful on boats and other places where one needs to untie bits of string, etc. I have a pair of sailing gloves with the ends cut off thumb and forefinger to address this problem - but I still get cold hands come November. + |
|
| |
Great idea. Can't believe someone hasn't actually done this yet. Bun. |
|
| |
Sounds like he, [Krelnik], is taking a break. That tis good. |
|
| |
Love the idea. I hate taking off my gloves to do simple tasks, like opening my can of sodie pop, picking up stuff, etc. |
|
| |
His bio mentions that people mistreated
him. What gives? |
|
| |
Why not have textured gloves with nails on them???
Like a work glove, only with a rubber coating, and add the nails on, or just have add-on nails to the gloves??? |
|
| |
I take it you like question marks???
Hopefully you don't really talk like this??? |
|
| |
whats your problem with ??? |
|
| |
Extraneous punctuation annoys me???
Especially when the comment is not a
question??? |
|
| |
Well, one is too little, and five is too many... |
|
| |
And I was saying the comment with a questioning tone... |
|
| |
Don't worry about me. I have
punctuation issues that I'll have to deal
with myself. |
|
| |
Frankly, I don't care how many question
marks you use. What matters is that we
understand each other. |
|
| |
Textured gloves would be fine with me.
The thing is, I'd imagined that the
fingernail gloves would be your average
winter glove for outside ventures,
though work glove with fingernails
would be handy indeed. |
|
| |
Just the thing for playing the classical guitar when it's cold. I'd like the right hand glove to have fingernails, and the left hand glove to be without them, please. |
|
| |
I would also have to find a way to solidify
the fingertip. Maybe dip it in glue or
something. |
