"I love these gloves" 2009-04-10By
Chad Cowser (College Station, TX)
These gloves fit extremely well. You can easily pick up small nuts and bolts with these gloves on. I won't ever work on my car without these.
"Decent glove, not fluid-proof" 2009-04-03By
Ryan E. Schultz (West Lafayette, IN USA)
Well fitting, sharp-looking, good protecting glove. They gave me plenty of dexterity working on everything from small nuts to large particulate filters (even while hot). However, they are not oil/grease/fuel proof. I (stupidly perhaps) was wearing mine while working near diesel fuel. The fuel saturated the gloves and now they're effectively ruined. I'm going to buy another pair to replace my ruined ones, but in the future I'll make sure to switch over to nitrile gloves when working near fuel.
"wonder glove" 2009-01-20By
wrenchrrrI used to use the leather palm type of gloves for working (mechanic), they would start to get dirty and greasy, at which point I would figure they wouldn't last much longer. Once that point was reached I would not be careful about keeping them clean. Soon after that, they would get saturated with grease, or get a hole rendering them worthless.
These are a synthetic leather and seem to last forever. I've welded in them, got them super greasy then wiped them off, then continued using and abusing them. I bought another pair to replace them thinking they would get a hole pretty soon. That second pair is still sitting in my tool box unused. The first pair is about 2 years old now, but I don't use them every day. Only when I need the cushioning or splinter protection.
So the advantages are, paying a more now for these compared to buying multiple leather pairs. Much better dexterity and feel compared to the leather. Easy on and off. I've even had leather ones give me sort of a hand fungus (jock itch of the hand?).
Disadvantages, number one is cost. But if you look, you can find them for [...] bucks. They're not made for welding, so don't pick up something hot. I burned a pin hole in one of the fingers accidently touching the mig wire. Don't get the camo ones. If you leave them sitting somewhere, they'll camoflouge themselves, and get easily lost. My first pair I got blue, second bright yellow.
"OK gloves--but not for cycling" 2008-12-12By
guiseppe soffiare (University City, MO United States)
I saw, on another website, that people were recommending these gloves for cycling, and, as I needed a new pair of long-fingered gloves for my daily commute, I decided to give them a try. Big mistake! The gloves offer scant protection to the outside of one's hands, and their palms are both unpadded and slippery, rendering the gloves uncomfortable to ride in and useless for portage. I wear them for odd jobs around the house, for which work they're OK (though really you can get comparable work gloves at any of the big box stores for quite a bit less $). To be fair, their color is way cool. I don't know what those people were thinking, though, to suggest them for cycling! Stick with Pearl Izumi.
"Great work gloves." 2008-12-06By
Jun H. Cho (Minneapolis, MN)
Great work gloves, though like wearing any other gloves it's fairly difficult to manipulate small items (1/4" nuts, short screws, etc.). In class, we were working on electric motors and the motor we had ran HOT! I was able to hold onto the motor with barely any heat transfer and wouldn't have been able to hold onto it without the gloves.
