Gloves that fit like a Glove

I had a dfficult time deciding between this Ironcald Box Handler Glover or the heavy duty gloves Ironclad also sells. I finally decided to go for dexterity/agility over the more heavy duty gloves. I think I've made a good choice. They are indeed very comfortable gloves and the best fitting gloves I've ever owned even though your at a disadvantage by not being able to try them on before the purchase. All I did was go to my tool shed and checked the size of the work gloves I usually wear. With these gloves you can pick a dime off the floor. Now you wouldn't want to haul firewood all day long with these gloves, and that's why I still use my standard "home improvement store" heavy duty gloves for that kind of work, but than you'll never grip a hammer better with any other gloves than with these, and that is where these gloves shine. These Ironclad Box Handler gloves are in my opinion best suited for picking up small objects off the floor, gripping tools like hammers, screwdrivers, drills, picks, shovels and thing like that. On the down side I find that $25 is a bit high for a pair of light weight gloves. I'm use to paying between $5 and $15 for a pair of work gloves. Would I buy these gloves again? For a great fitting light weight glove that gives your hands greater agility for $15 you bet----But for $25 ahhh maybe, but than maybe not.

The Handler says it all is the perfect saying for this glove.You get a good grip on slippery items.The diamond clad sticky palm increses your grip for handling.I purchase these for my son-in law who is a sheet rock handler and absolutly loves them. He says the fit is comfortable due to the spandex top and the terry cloth thumb upper and the Velco cuff closer.
