According to the records of Nordic mythology, Thor got the extra customized gloves from the dwarves after he got Myrnel.Because the Thor's Hammer was originally designed as a war hammer with a handle long enough to be used by both hands, but the dwarf was distracted by the bite of the flying insects that Rocky had turned into during the casting process, so the hammer handle was too short and could only be used with one hand (so the dwarf said it was not good enough). In order to make up for this defect, the dwarf made an iron glove, which was specially used togetherMyrnerNo matter how he wields the hammer, Tol will not feel tired.
