Mechanix Wear Torch X-Pad Welding Hand Pad | CarbonX® 2000°F Kevlar® Heat Barrier WS-PAD

Mechanix Wear Torch X-Pad Welding Hand Pad Features

The Mechanix Wear Torch X-Pad is a heat barrier built with CarbonX® flame-resistant fabric technology rated to withstand 2000°F for 20 seconds. A heavyweight felt interior delivers added thermal resistance for resting on hot parts. DuPont™ Kevlar® stitching provides the structural integrity that keeps the pad intact under repeated high-heat contact.

Most hot-part barriers are simple leather patches with no rated thermal limit or reinforced stitching. This product resolves that gap with a documented CarbonX® rating and Kevlar® construction. Easy-access inserts for the fingers and thumb allow a firm, controlled grip on heated workpieces.

Storage and handling stay practical on the shop floor. A convenient loop extension lets welders hang the pad within reach between operations. One size fits most hands, making it a shared-station accessory rather than a per-worker sized item.

Laboratory and Industrial Applications

Welding stations, automotive shops, and manufacturing cells use the X-Pad to grip or steady freshly welded parts that exceed glove ratings. The CarbonX® barrier and felt interior let a worker briefly handle or rest a hand against hot stock without the bulk of a full high-heat glove.

Fabrication and tactical-support environments keep the X-Pad at shared workstations as a grab-and-use heat barrier. Its loop extension supports tool-board storage, and the one-size design means any technician at the station can use it during hot-part handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much heat can the X-Pad withstand?

The X-Pad is built with CarbonX® fabric rated to withstand 2000°F for 20 seconds, with a heavyweight felt interior adding resistance for briefly resting against or gripping hot parts.

Is the X-Pad a glove or a separate barrier?

It is a hand pad, not a glove. Finger and thumb inserts allow a firm grip on hot workpieces, functioning as a shared-station heat barrier rather than a per-worker sized glove.

Can it be stored at a workstation?

Yes. A convenient loop extension lets the X-Pad hang on a tool board or hook within reach, supporting grab-and-use access at shared hot-work stations.
