2.0 out of 5 stars Home remodeler, March 2, 2001

I do home remodeling and cabinetry work. I was looking for a glove to protect my hands when doing major construction such as framing, etc. I was intrigued by the claims of dexterity and toughness. I was dissapointed. On one hand these gloves did protect my hands rather well. There toughness left something to be desired. The velcro closure on one glove came off by the third wearing. After 4 weeks on a 400 sq ft addition one of the fingers began to pop out. There name "true-grip" is slighty mis-leading. I nearly killed one of my workers when my Framing hammer (wooden handle) flew from my hands do to lack of friction. The Kevlar pads are tough but certainly not grippy. I must admit that the Kevlar pads have protected my hands and are very tough. Wish I could say the same about the rest of the glove (seams, thread, etc.) At the price you pay for these you would expect them to be a little more durable and long lasting. I don't think they were meant to be throw aways.

1.0 out of 5 stars Gloves were great the first day.., November 6, 2000

I got the gloves as a gift and thought they were great. I wore them the first day and they fit great and were very nice to work with. At the end of the first day I noticed a few threads hanging, but didn't think much of it. Day 2 I noticed the forefinger and little finger on the left hand starting to split open and get raggity. By the end of the second day the gloves showed signs of a pair of $2.00 gloves on their last legs. I wore them for a few more days with my forefinger and little pinky sticking out and getting upset about how much these were and decided to write this review. I could have got as much use out of a $2.00 pair of jersey gloves. If you figure it out my friend paid $2.00 per hour for me to wear these gloves.

2.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Duty Work Gloves made without the heavy duty in mind, July 2, 2001

I used these gloves over the course of a three day project erecting a cedar wood trelese over my back deck. I notice immediately that the stiching was coming undone and by the end of the third day the fabric on two of the five fingers on the left hand were showing signs of breaking through. I get more wear out of a pair of cheap work gloves you purchase at a hardware store.
