wonder glove
I 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.
Great work gloves.
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.
The BEST gloves ever!
This is my second pair. And I bought it not because the first one went bad but just in case. The pair I'm using recently took a lot of abuse from construction/plumbing jobs and still looks and feels good. Fits very well too!
Does that say $75 list price?
Ok, just ignore that $75 list price. Either that's a misprint or someone ingested a controlled substance while typing. These gloves might save you some scraped knuckles or worse while exercising your inner mechanic. They sell just about everywhere for around 20 bucks and they are both functional and add a layer of safety to your project. Wait until they are on special at $15 on Amazon and you'll save both your knuckles and your wallet.
I am surprised by the feel . . . ( I was skeptical)
I got these in a promotion from Valvoline. I work a lot with thick stainless steel, grinding, cutting and filing, etc. Saves my hands from cuts, burrs and slivers.
And do you know how much it costs to fix a "grinder laceration" to your skin? About $400.00, six stitches plus a lot of pain.
I'm totally sold on these!
