I have used the Original Mechanix glove that cost $25 at Home Depot and wore them out within weeks. The DeWalt DPG20XL are by far a much better work glove. Their is an extra layer of material between the index finger and the thumb. That helps the glove last longer, protects the hand better, and provides better grip because that area is textured. There is also an elastic strip at the wrist that keeps dirt, sand, wood chips, etc. from getting into the glove when working. Other than that, the Mechanix glove and the DeWalt glove have the same Synthetic leather finger tips and elastic material on the back of the hand.

I would recommend these gloves to anyone, and I would use them instead of Mechanix gloves if I had a choice between the two.

The Dewalt is a slightly better value than the Yougstown gloves. But it is also a simpler more basic glove. These should be reasonably durable for dirty work and masonry. The XL size in Dewalt seems to fit about like the 2XL in the Youngstown. In general the synthetic material palms wear more quickly than leather but they do not suffer as badly as leather from repeated wet/dry and dirty cycles.

These gloves might work out OK if all you plan on doing is digging in the yard or something, but if you're going to be handling materials that might be lacquered, painted, or otherwise finished, beware that the material on the palms pills up and leaves big black smudges all over everything. I think I'll stick to the all-leather cheapies.

Horrible. The first time I wore these, they tore at the seam between glove and wrist. Don't buy. I shouldn't have.

i only needed this to move some heavy metal and glass items without running the risk of scraping my hands. worked well. fit well, they feel sturdy enough for most jobs.

This is definitely a general use glove. If you're using them for residential work, or around non-abrasive objects, these gloves will probably work fine.

I work at a home improvement store, and I opted to purchase these as I have to handle sheet-rock, hardibacker, concrete bags and blocks, and a variety of other materials. If you are looking for a pair of gloves that can handle constant abrasion for hours at a time, these gloves will fail in the most critical place: the fingers.

I used these gloves for only 4 days before the middle-finger fingertip on my primary hand had a hole worn into it. This is absolutely unacceptable in my mind, as a cheaper pair of 7 dollar nitrile coated gloves have lasted longer. Even when the nitrile wore off (in days), the cloth gloves still have yet to obtain a single hole. Furthermore, the inside of the gloves will be rubbed out, creating little balls of material that prove a minor nuisance. Even worse, the off-hand middle finger seam has started to wear out. The usefulness is further hampered by the minor air circulation afforded.

Overall, it manages at least one more star as the rest of the gloves have yet to show signs of significant wear. If these gloves actually had reinforcement material where it -really- counts, the -fingertips-, these could be worth double easily.

In summary, decent gloves. Avoid if you handle anything remotely abrasive for more than a day.

These are the gloves I like best for outdoor work. They fit well - and are not clumsy like some older style gloves are. The one disadvantage that I have noticed of knit-fabric gloves like these is that thorns (like from rose or citrus trees) can go right through them (ouch!) if you are not careful.

Husband handles heavy granite, is happy with these gloves and bookmarked the page. Will buy again when needed.

I am remodling my home and use these gloves quite often. They have held up without any problems. I recommend these for any one that could use a good pair of work gloves.

these gloves have a nice fit, not too tight either. I have used them extensively in logging work, they have held up better than natural leather gloves. Would recommend them.
