I've been tired of bleeding everywhere, and having to wash my hands like 12 times. And the black fingernails. I've tried latex, and vinyl, but I always cut them open. So I requested Mechanix gloves, and got them. I haven't really had an excuse to use them yet.



Has anyone else used these gloves? Are you happy with them?

they are great!



just remember u shouldn't use gloves for all work. You should never use gloves for lathe, mill, drill presses.

I have 34 guys that work under me in my shop for the Air Force, and they all have them, and wear them out quite a bit, they really put them through some extreme stuff too, welding is not reccemended with them, but everything else does fine, and thye wash out real well.

well, I don't have a drill press, lathe, mill, or any welding devices, so I think they'll do just fine

i go thru a few sets a year, but they sure save my hands! word of caution: when changing oil (motor, gear, whatever) use latex gloves.. the oil doesn't really wash out of the mechanix so well.

I bought some. Still too bulky for electrical work, but good for everything else.



I used to cut myself a couple times everytime I worked on my car for more than an hour.

I have 2 pairs laying around they are great. Especially at Autocrosses when a tire change is needed you can keep your hands pretty clean.



They are a little cumbersome when trying to thread small screws or nuts.
