i'm not a fan of those gloves, as i have seen them get caught in a drill press and wind up like a rubber band before breaking free.
luckily, the guy wearing them was not hurt, but you should have seen his eyes bug out ! eek
that may have been a freak thing, but i have never been afraid of getting my hands dirty. that's probably why they are cracked, arthritic, and hurt all the time.
