I go through gloves quickly, so grab some extras while I can.

Quote from gobblygook : Thanks for all the great additions to this thread. Just more stupid crap to have to read through when looking for actual reviews. Could you threadcrap elsewhere, such as FW?

And... Your longest post in the thread just took up how much more space to read though with your whining?

In any case - I like thes gloves generally, (and just ordered 2 pair at this price) but be aware:
1) They don't like high temps - I've used them in the winter while snowblowing and got too close to the exhaust - instantly melted it to my finger - (I didn't touch exhaust, just got close).
2) I've used them to move stones to build a wall - the fingertips on the non-reinforced fingers (other than thumb and index) wore through in about an hour.
Moral: great as a mechanic's glove, but not as a 'work glove', and be careful around hot engines.

Thanks in for 2.

hmmm maybe thats why they are called mechanic gloves....

No respectable mechanic would wear these. Disposable latex gloves provide much better feel for small parts.
These are for mechanic wannabes

Quote from carguy07 : I guess I don't blame Sears for getting so much attention on here for cheap hoses and shovels. Obviously there is a strong market for that stuff. No argument here that quality and service have taken a dump from years back. Some stuff is still good, some is garbage. I don't think many glove makers are going to put much of a warranty on consumer gloves. BTW Kmart bought Sears not the other way around. That's the reason we are seeing so much Kmart influence, they own Sears. Probably wouldn't be around anymore if they had not bought them out. I guess my point with the thread crapping is that it seems more annoying to have people making posts with no value on purpose vs people making posts about products that you personally see no value in.

OK Carguy...I appreciate the objective response. I'll stop dumping on Sears but please understand I get sick of seeing Sear's bad hoses and cheap shovels on the front page. While these may be slick deals to some, they don't have to front page them over and over. Sears (and the Craftsman brand) are quite obviously overrated these days. Thanks...again appreciate the tone of your reply. I'll even give you a rep.

I picked up 3 pairs, Thanks op! (Rep)

The latex gloves serve a different purpose, The gloves in this post are for protection from Heat. Latex gloves are protection from Oils/Grime. Neither is a good application for the other, Use Latex on a hot part and you will wish you were never born. (Fuses to your flesh)

Personally I find these gloves to be great for hot car parts, working on the yard, Home construction. They're great for pulling electrical wire as they provide protection from abrasion / slivers, and far greater tech-tile response then typical construction gloves.

That's not true. I use them when I'm turning wrenches in my garage and only switch to nitrile gloves when I'm going to be handling fluids, oil changes for instance. Then I switch back to gloves like this. These gloves keeps you from burning your hands, taking chunks out of knuckles or tearing your finger tips up. There's nothing manly about lowering productivity due to stupid little nagging injuries you could have easily avoided. Take care of your hands and they will take care of you.


Another glove I use frequently for this or when I'm getting my Electrician on is MaxiFlex gloves. Those things are great when you don't need quite as much protection but 'feel' is important. As a side note, I use Mechanix gloves for shooting gloves too. I've used the expensive Oakley operator gloves and I prefer the 'feel' of the Mechanix gloves. Granted, they don't offer as much knuckle protection but this hasn't been an issue as much as tactile feel. I buy them a size or two too small and then I wear them around the house constantly gripping and relaxing to break them in. Once they've stretched slightly they are a perfect fit and the finger tips especially are tight around the edges of the fingers.

Ordered one, and my order was canceled for instore pickup.

Logged in, and put the gloves in my cart. Went all the way to the final checkout screen, and no $5. Of course, I did sign in as well. Guess you were just lucky. Did anyone else get the $5 ?

The only coupons that I did receive was to apply to the amount of purchases of either $ 35, $ 50 or $ 75 to get $ 5, $ 10 or $ 15 in points.......
But never a FREE of $ 5, $ 7 or $ 10 of points
