These gloves fit beautifully, with amazing dexterity and sensitivity. Durability is an issue, since the only tougher reinforced areas are on the palm, not the fingers and thumbs. Finger tips and thumb saddle are now fully reinforced with a second layer of the synthetic leather in the new models, however. I had one pair of the old model and wore through the thumb edge after two days of roofing. Returned those, got a new model in exchange, and noticed that CLC had reinforced the problem areas. Still, the new pair wore through after a few days using a digging bar and concrete. For lighter applications, however, it's hard to imagine a more comfortable glove. My sense, however, is that the current batch of Ironclad heavy duty utility gloves will wear better for more abrasive applications. Overall, very comfortable, high-dexterity glove for medium duty applications, good for framing.

I am an electrician who bought these gloves before wiring a beauty spa with a plenum ceiling. All wiring had to be MC and/or BX. I have had the gloves for 2 years and am only now do I need another pair. The gloves are perfect when you want to protect your hands but need to have full control of your fingers. I am able to strip wire, twist wires together for wire nuts, work with 6-32 screws without any problems. I went to buy a new pair recently and the store had a different brand. I did not buy the new brand based on what I saw. So I went online to purchase "CLC Tradesman" gloves. I strongly recomment these gloves to anybody who wishes they could wear gloves and still perform their work.

This is the second pair of this model, 145l gloves, that I have owned. This pair has been redesigned in some ways that are good, and some that aren't so great. The reinforced fingers are nice. That's where my others gave out first. The main problem I have with these is that they are quite tight, especially in the fingers. The other pair (same model number and size) that I used to have were perfect. These are too small. Will make a nice gift for one of my sons. Nice gloves, just runs small.

I had a pair of last years gloves. They were great. They were comfortable, fit well, and were very durable over a year of yard work and home repairs. They finally fell apart after a year and I was happy to buy another pair of gloves.

This new set didn't even last until January. In the winter my gloves don't get much abuse. I wear them as I use my snow blower and I wore them when I was doing some light work on my car. The new material on the thumbs shredded and disappeared after only a few weeks and the Velcro enclosures on the wrists do not stay attached.

I liked my old product so much that I wrote CLC hoping that this was a bad batch and that I could exchange these gloves. Unfortunately, I never received a response.

Once great, now don't bother. There are better alternatives.

My husband loves these gloves. He uses them for his woodcraft hobby. He says he never gets blisters when he uses these gloves. He really likes to use them for everything!

I liked the gloves and could handle smaller ovject with them on, but the fingertips wore out very quickly.

Very good gloves that fit and help grip and work with tools. My only complaint is that sometimes the velcro wrist strap catches just as you are trying take the gloves off.

I am very pleased and will replace them with the same brand and type when they wear out.
