 Mi tercer par November 17, 2008
Alfredo Ruiz (Mexico)
Cuando compre el primero me pareciaron buenos, el segundo, tambien, pero en ambos casos lo primero que fallo fue el dedo indice, pues solo era la tela lo que cubria, lo mande a reparar. En este tercer me complace decir que ya cuenta con protecion para darle mas duracion. No necesitas ser mecanico para tenerlos, cuando te acostumbres a usarlos los usaras casi para todo...
Se pueden lavar en la lavadora...Mi esposa tiene los suyos y le encantan pues no se maltratan sus manos...los usa poco he de decir
Thick, protective, though bulky and significant loss in dexterity August 24, 2008
D. Vu (Winter Park, Florida)
I'm a former USAF F-15 Crew Chief and found these worked okay on the jet, giving me security when reaching inside the various doors and panels and not getting burnt or scratched up, but for doing work on my bike as well as using them as protective gloves as riding they're far from ideal. I often have to take a glove off to do something simple.
They fit a little loose on me (finger lengths a bit too long) and aren't ugly, but they are bulky and they can't do micro adjustments and have difficulty doing stuff such as handling small objects such as washers, nuts, and pins. I have to take them off to go into pockets since the backing likes to catch on everything. They can't deal with the buttons on my Sansa e260 MP3 player and even have trouble putting the earbuds in.
These are a bit overprotective in the wrong areas for almost all occupations. A lumberjack that has to do a lot with brush and branches could possibly make use of these if they didn't catch. A firefighter too maybe for at least a few of their tasks, not full-time. A carpenter prone to smashing their fingertips with a hammer... oh wait, there's not much protection there. As a Crew Chief, I went a long time just using the blue/purple Nitril medical exam gloves and a rag for most things, like handling HAZMAT. I could've easily went the rest of my enlistment without them.
The original Mechanix gloves are superior in every way except for protection. When you need protection for something like heat, you'd grab extra anyways, like a rag.

Great glove for Mechanics reduces the impact from the use of air tools. I love the color. Not good for turning wrenches made strictly for use with air tools. Long time wear causes restriction of blood flow the next size up is too large.
Great product March 3, 2008

Gloves fit well. Hard to grab smaller things like screws and nails. They have great padding in the palms and feel like they will last a long time.

I received these gloves last week and tried them out for the first time yesterday. I am just a DIY'er that works on his own cars. I rotated the tires on my two vehicles and by the end the gloves were worn almost all the way through on several fingers and a place on the palms. I am confused as to why these gloves are for automotive use when they don't hold up to a few hours of wear.
