i work with HVAC and deal with a TON of sharp edges and razor thin metal, mostly aluminum and stainless steel sheet metal. these gloves have saved me several trips to the ER!! so many close calls on knives, sharp edges, nails, screws splinters, etc. I recommend these for anyone looking for work gloves. ive had em for a month now and under the grime theh still look and fit brand new! they are comfy too. is it wierd i whisper "thank you little buddy" to them after a days work? Lol highly recommend.
The gloves fit my hands very well, I was able to work with them without any problems (not bulky). The only negative is that the tip of the ring finger on each hand has worn through (see the picture). Note that the other fingers are reinforced. The work I did with these gloves was to remove a sub-floor (the 1/8 thick layer above the 3/4 inch plywood). It had nails every 4 inches and glue. I used a prybar, crowbar and claw hammer to pull it up and most of the wood splintered into many pieces. These gloves protected my hands from any cuts or scratches. I did get a few "pokes" as the sharp splintered wood did penetrate a couple times but they protected my hands from many more pokes than got through. I have re-ordered them. I wish they were more durable..
I bought these for my DIY projects at home as I often need to protect my hands whilst doing plumbing or electrical or my wood working. I’m always doing something and figured these would be great.
They are a great fit! I was concerned when I purchased but I used the size guide and they are snug. The only thing is that they take some doing to get off because of the snug fit however the fit enhances the natural usability of my hands whilst being protected. They feel great. Firm hold not tight therefore comfortable. As time passes I’ll update on the wear.
Generally speaking I have never liked wearing gloves while doing any kind of work. These Handyman gloves from Custom Leathercraft are a rare exception. Very comfortable and no problems gripping tools so no added hand fatigue.
When I have been using tools that generate a lot of vibration (hand grinders, hand disc and belt sanders, multi-tools, hammer drills, etc.) I find that the vibration is very tough on my old hands (having Dupuytren's makes this even more of a problem). These Handyman gloves eliminate almost all of the vibration without making it more difficult to hold the tool for extended periods of time. I can go all day doing deck sanding with these gloves whereas without them I would have to stop after every 40 minutes and get the blood flowing back into my hands.
Love these work gloves! They are a comfortable, precise fit with a velcro wrist closure that prevents debris from falling into the glove. They are almost impenetrable and have yet to tear even a tiny bit even when handling thorny brush or objects with sharp, pointed edges.This is not to imply that they are indestructible but, rather, that the gloves are well designed and well made, resisting damage from handling objects that would usually cause damage. Most important? They provide great protection for my hands. I haven't had a chance to use them in cold weather yet. I'll update my review after I have worn them during the fall and winter months.

My husband is a train conductor/engineer and is required to wear gloves with a leather/leather like grip because he hangs from the ladder of moving train cars. The work issued are very cheap and are 'one size fits all' so while they're the perfect length for his long fingers/hands, they have WAY too much room for his skinny fingers. This makes him half to remove them anytime he needs to write, use his walkie talkie/radio or do any type of detailed work. His hands get pretty banged up at work so the constant on/off of his gloves this winter was giving his arthritis a fit. Although these machanic's gives offer ZERO warmth (which we didn't expect), they're thicker/slightly padded in exactly the right places to keep his hands from getting banged up. The grip is exactly what he needed and the fit is perfect. There is no bulk to get in the way and finger area fits slim enough that he can write, press buttons, operate small tools and even pick up tiny screws/nuts/bolts (at home, not work) without any issues.
The only reason I subtracted a star is because he popped a seam on one knuckle the very first night he wore them to work. It did cause a hole but he's been using them for months now and all other seams and material are holding tight and the hole hasn't spread since it happened.
These are great. I've been using these and the mechanix brand for a couple decades while shooting/archery and firearms and teaching shooting.
These are very well made, and allow me to use my touch screen phone easily!
Make sure you check your hand sizes, otherwise get several!
Love that the knuckles take some bumps, and dexterity is still great! !
Cons-
They are NOT slash resistant OR winterized in any way. These are too prevent minor issues while doing projects from yard through mechanics and shooting/archery!
They do a decent job of protecting from cold /windy weather just dont get wet/ and understand they are not winterized
I got these gloves on a lightening deal for a good price. They fit (and stretch a little) over my large(ish) hands. The finger tip grip work well and allowed for more dexterity than a typical workglove. My only issue is they've gotten pretty ratty looking after about 3 or 4 prolonged uses while building a sofa and working on my lawn mower. No tears or rips but they have kind of "stiffened" from sweating et. al. so it take a few minutes to break them back in. If they made it a little more breathable this might be a non factor. I would still recommend these gloves, especially on sale.
These gloves are fantastic. I purchased these for walking my dog, a 165 lb Alaskan malamute that is hard to handle. I have found myself wearing these gloves for many other daily tasks, like taking out garbage, cleaning up in the yard and gardening. These gloves are especially good for trimming shrubs and rosebushes where you need flexibility and dexterity but you also need protection from injury also. These glove provide protection and provide easy maneuverability and flexibility. They have padding where needed and make daily task, especially walking my hard to handle dog, easier.
My only complaint is the fingertips are baggy, and it's hard to accurately type buttons on my smart phone. The glove smushes up on the flat surface and touches a larger area of the screen than my finger tip would, so it's pretty much impossible to type things quickly. If it's a text you must send out, taking gloves off is easier, but if it's something simple, like hitting next on a song, or adjusting brightness, tapping answer on a phone call, it works just fine for all that.
