Anti-vibration gloves?

[j-bird]

Any of you use a particular brand of anti-vibration gloves that you like? I have a Sthil FS111 brush clearing saw and I put the 3 finger blade on it this weekend to knock back some weeds and the damn thing about shook me to death! After about 1/2 hour my hands had become numb. The blade worked fine, but with that sort of affect on me.....I'm not going to be able to use it very long. I am looking into other blades as well, but the balance of the one I have is terrible. Blade was 100% brand new as well....

Got the same setup
Check how u have the head attached.
Had the same thing happen.

Thought I put everything back together right and the dang thing about shook my arm apart. Stripped it down put it back together and everything ran smooth. Think it was something to do with how the washer goes in different.
