I need a pair of work gloves for general handyman/around the house use. I shred the $10-20 general pairs from Lowes/Home Depot in about a month of after work/weekend work around my yard. Any ideas? Thanks.
I need gloves everyday for work and I just buy them at whatever gas station I go into, 3 dollars and change lasts a month or more.
What do you use them for? I'm sick of my stuff wearing out. I want something that will last. Thanks for the reply, repped.
Good for raking, building (hammering) demo, picking up rocks, etc? The price is certainly right. (reps all around)
Do they get holes in the leather? If yes and you want some better ones go to a welding supply shop and get somewelding gloves. Cut off the cuffs and you have a work glove with thick leather.
Good for any type of housework or yardwork. Read the reviews, some of the highest on Amazon and you can't beat that price for a set of four.
I can't stand those rubber gloves. I think they are better for gardening where your gloves are likely to stay wet for a while and leather would rot.
I was thinking of these: Youngstown Glove 05-3080-70-L General Utility Lined with KEVLAR Glove Large, Gray
I may go in for a small 4-pack of those rubber gloves as well and have my wife and son test them out. And there is a lot of metal working around me, I'm sure I can find a welder's shop close. While we're on the subject, anyone ever use a Magnetic Wrist Band for sticking screws/nails to while you're working? Very clever idea.
These say they come with a 90 day limited warranty. I couldn't really find much on the warranty itself, you may need to call/email. Pugs Edit: Looks like you can get a 2 year warranty plan with these for an extra $6.
I've yet to find a work glove that doesn't come apart at the seams eventually, especially along the fingers. What I've done in the past is just tape up the tears/holes with electrical tape (I know, it's kinda get-0).
This. I have like 4 pairs all over my house and shop. I use them to TIG/MIG, carry steel, work on cars, cut the lawn and handy work around the house. They last quite a while and aren't too bulky so you can still pick up small objects.
