Makita 845017-A MFORCE2 Heavy Duty Gloves (XL)

Product Description

Amazon.com

Quite possibly the most perfect work gloves we've seen. Yes, they cost a little more, but in our book, they're worth it. They protect your hands from impact, elements, dirt, fibers, splinters, shards and all kinds of occupational hazards. The accordion-style padded knuckles protect and defend while affording you complete flexibility. The guards on the fingers and the back of the hand are rugged, molded Thermal Plastic Rubber and can take quite a hit--and we say, far better the gloves than your hands. Other gloves we've seen make it tough to grasp small objects like fasteners, but the Clarino Zeus rubberized surface lets you pick up and grip even the smallest stuff. They go on easy and come off easy, thanks to the hook-and-loop closure on the wide-banded wrist. Yes, they're great in the building, construction, and mechanical fields, but we think they'd make great landscaping and gardening gloves, too.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Best all around multi-purpose gloves I have ever purchased. Provided me with excellent dexterity and protection. The super duty workhorse of gloves. I have tried them all and nothing compared this glove. If you going to spend the money why not buy the best. Another premium product by Makita Power Tools.

Don't handle wood without a pair. Aside from avoiding countless slivers and the ability to guide wood through machinery without slipping, I attest to having all fingers accounted for when such would not be the case had I not been wearing these gloves. Fingers are worth more than the price!!!

In a momentary lapse of sanity I decided to ignore my better judgement and cut a too small piece of oak using my table saw rather than the band saw. The rest was history in a flash. The blade back grabbed the piece and slammed it down on my fingers with a 3hp force that shattered the hardwood. I was almost afraid to look into the glove but amazingly Not Even a Bruise! I now own 3 pairs. BTW, the XL fits me like a normal Large.
