Straps

Do they help?

Deadlifts are shreding my hands to pieces.
I have tried wearing gloves but I think they affect my grip on the bar.

Yes, but I would only use them on sets where the weight is too much for your grip. A lot of people could go heavier but their grip gives out before...their lats for example on heavy rows.
