Good work gloves, haves used for many years.

Good quality at a great price. I purchased these individually before, but at this price (< $10 for 5 pairs) you can't go wrong.

When I think of a work glove, this is it. You can get a real grip with these, as they are real cowhide leather. The cuffs make them easy to take on and off, as well as give some protection to your wrists. They are comfortable- not too thick so you can't get a good feel, and not so thin that you're not well-protected. They are a decent value too.Bonus: If you look around, you can find this same style in a toddler's size, so they can help Dad when he is working.

In the backwood mountains of northern Vermont, I chopped six chords of wood to prepare for winter with these gloves. Not once when swinging my ax did a finger pop through a hole or a tear ruin my day. These gloves work just as hard as us mountain folk. The padding across the knuckles is perfect for using a sharpie marker to write your name or a catch phrase to motivate you to work harder. My preferred tagline is "bustin' @$$". Very good; will buy again if these gloves ever break down - not any time soon.

Great gloves and they gave them away to help victims of hurricane sandy can't beat that in a glove. They are the standard thin cowhide / heavy cloth construction work gloves that many of us have used for years. They offer some protection from yucky stuff and plenty of protection against small scratches and bruises that occur during ordinary handyman stuff. They're not specialty chemical suit gloves or gripper gloves or for training dogs or installing barbed wire and they're not claiming to be. They will disintegrate and tear over time, which can be weeks or months. What I do is keep a newer cleaner pair for handling tools, especially when sanding, and then the previous somewhat worn pair gets used for digging, taking out the garbage, or other dirty stuff instead of sharp stuff. They do wear out but that's the point--to be a cheap shield that takes blows your skin could survive a few of but which you'd just as soon avoid. Compared to big box stores around here, these cost less and they're the same thing, and since they aren't perishable and are a consumable item, just order them in advance with SuperSaver and then it's noticeably less than in a hardware store.

Are these other reviews a joke? "they wore out" ... "lasted only two weeks?" ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING? I own and operate a custom Cabinet and furniture shop. Work with EVERYTHING from hardwood to steel. We have stacks of pairs of these gloves in the shop for two reasons: 1 because for a dollar, these is NOTHING even close to the same in quality. 2) because for A DOLLAR you can get AT LEAST the "two weeks" work, and I am being kind, out of them! Come on people!! These are a great durable pair of gloves that will save your hands huge. Only con if I have to give one, they are WARM. Thats great for 10 months out of the year, but for the 2 scorchers, you will be wet.

Better materials than the ones I bought a couple years ago. Coating is more substantial. Bought men's large. My hands measure 8 and 1/4 inches from bent wrist to top of center finger if that helps anyone with sizing. Will see how they wear, but I am guessing I will be happy with longevity of gloves as well. Good deal.

I go through alot of gloves at work, I've worn and destroyed many different pairs over the course of 10 years in construction and I was really impressed with the quality of these gloves for the price you pay for them. They made it through a week of heavy usage before shredding, normally I get about 3 days out of a pair that cost twice as much. The grip is good, the glove is great, fits as expected, it looks as advertised, I will be buying more as soon as I start to run out.

Good cheap gloves. I buy them for my remodeling business and we go through gloves like crazy. Honestly I usually lose one or both before they wear out but sometimes I get a whole week from a single pair. Its also nice that they are cheap enough to throw away after a messy task. Large gloves fit my hands but I prefer the medium ones. They are tight as first but stretch quickly for a form fit for detailed tasks. Its rare for me to take them off while working even when driving screws.

I was a little uneasy about how cheap these gloves were. If you go to a local hardware store and look for a pair like these, you are likely to find them - but for much more money. I had such a pair, that I liked pretty well, and I was doubtful that gloves one third the price would be comparable. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are!It is difficult to compare the durability of gloves, as they are always being used for different jobs. But, I think these lasted just as long as the ones from the local hardware store. The comfort was largely the same. The knit material is very comfortable, and helps manage moisture (sweat) better than the nitrile gloves. The blue latex can be a little bulky for some situations, but it provides very good protection for a glove that doesn't cover over the top side. Allowing the top of your hand to breath is very nice versus, say, a leather glove.Basically, if you're familiar with this type of glove, this product is as good a representation of it as any. If you're not, maybe buy one pair locally to start before getting a twelve pack.

When I saw these gloves and saw the price (12 pairs for $14), I was a little apprehensive because it seemed too good to be true. They looked like what I needed and the reviews were mostly positive, so I thought I'd give them a try. I figured worst case scenario I lose $14! When I received the gloves I couldn't be more pleased...these gloves are fantastic! I do a lot of landscaping and pond/waterfall construction. Last year I bought similar gloves (3 pairs for $12)at the local Home Depot and they worked great for all aspects of my landscaping work. First pair would get too muddy and I'd hose them off, set them out to dry and grabbed the next pair, and so on. I ended up going through five or six pairs after some heavy duty work over the course of 6 months.

Price was ok and multipack was convienent. There was some variability in the fits and some of them were uncomforable. I probably wouldn't buy this produc again on line. I'd prefer to choose specific gloves I wanted. All in all not a big disaster but a little disappointed.

Quite a few pair in order. Fits very large. Not real thick hands are leather and tops are cotton.

I'm removing pavers and a concrete patio from my backyard. I've went through 4 of the 5 pairs of gloves because the job is just so hard on gloves. The leather on the middle and index fingers keep wearing through. But....These hold up just as well as the full leather gloves that are much more expensive. As a result, I keep coming back to these gloves as the most cost effective really heavy duty DIY gloves out there.

My husband is a full time local truck driver and a mechanic for 35 years. These gloves are his go to for truck driving, not for working on vehicles. These show brown but we got gray. The wrist has space to allow easy on and off and let's air come through which is great for a type of ventilation for sweaty palms and such. Price per glove is fair, can be purchased individually at Wal-Mart for about the same but delivery is convenient.

These are good. Not great, but good. I wear them with plain brown gardening gloves as liners, and they work very well. I would rate five stars, but for one big reason:You can find the exact same quality glove at Wal-Mart for 33.33% less ($1.00 per glove vs $1.50 per glove on Amazon). The reason I bought these on Amazon is that Wal-Mart is continually out of stock!Guess you can't have it all.

I purchased these for doing trail work on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Our projects would last up to 10 days. These gloves would last for nearly 2 projects if we were primarily doing log out work, but would start to get holes in the fingertips after a week if we were mostly doing rock work. Either way they were comfortable and I never got blisters when using an axe, pulaski, single jack hammers, double jack sledge, crosscut saw, shovel or other trail tools. The only problem I had was that the gloves would stretch out and cause the glove to get so loose that they could easily fall off. I'd give the gloves 5 stars if they remained snug until holes were worn into them. I'm going to stick with these gloves because the great price allows me to replace these frequently.UPDATE: They're still a pretty good deal here, but the price has gone up slightly and have fewer gloves. My first purchase had 6 pairs of gloves, but now it's 5 pairs with a higher price.

Floor merchant for Costco... these things take a beating and are priced right! Minus one star for chemical smell of rubberized coating. Save money my hands from cardboard cuts and pallet splinters. Helps me grip tricky and slick box sides. Won't work without them!

Affordable and holds up just fine. Wears if you have to use a chain on a large rolling door but it holds up better than most other affordable gloves I've used so far. I think dealing with that chain a bunch of times a day will wear out just about any glove anyways. Great price and provides plenty of grip. I cut a bit of the thumb and pointer finger on the glove to still be able to pick stuff up. Works great!

These gloves are of great quality for the price and they wear very well. One pair can last me for months with daily use during my delivery runs. They help my grip tremendously and they are my go to gloves for my current occupation. I do wish there was a heavy winterized version of these gloves because my hands do get pretty cold while wearing them when working in the winter. But besides that, this is a great product for its price point.

These gloves are durable and the latex is very sticky. The only problem is that there is no air ventilation so when you start lifting heavy things and doing a lot of work, your hands get extremely sticky and wet.After about 4 days of using these gloves, my hands got extremely dry and started cracking between the fingers.I still really like it because I can lift things myself that would normally require 2 people.Just be sure to air out your hand regularly.

My boyfriend bought these gloves to be used on the job while he was working for a big moving company. Obviously that requires a lot of heavy lifting & needing to have a good grip on objects/furniture/boxes. He had been looking for a good pair of gloves & had tried other types. These worked really well. He was able to get a good solid grip on things. The only problem is that as soon as they got wet, the grip went away. This includes both water/rain and sweat. Also, each pair did not last that long, so it's good that it comes in a pack of 12. He estimates that each pair lasted him about 4 or 5 jobs. Now again he was using these daily for a labor intensive job, so I don't know how they'd be if you're just buying them for sporadic use. But for the price, these were a really good deal. He definitely couldn't have gotten so many for that price anywhere else.

Here is why I bought them. Recently I have Been moving cardboard boxes and that dries my hands alot. This time they dried to the point that I got an infection. I went to the doctor he told me that I have a eczema.so now I have been looking for gloves that I can use for semi-hard labor like moving boxes but I can still be out front helping customers without looking ridiculous also I have to be able to count money and unfortunately these gloves just didn't work for me I give it 4 stars only because it didn't work for me but I wouldn't say that they wouldn't work for others in their situation what I had one wanted was something that fits me nice and sleek(and these were not to flexible, they are also kind of thick).and then I found these Gloves "CAT CAT017406L Heavy gauge string knit with dotted palm and fingers".these gloves are a teeny bit course on the fabric but they fit perfectly they also allowed for me to be able to grab money easily without struggling too much I was also able to handle boxes without my hands drying out so if anyone has my type of issue where you need something for physical labor but mostly so you won't look bad in front of customers while you are trying to avoid dirty money then these are probably not the gloves for you but the cat ones are

works

split at the seams fairly quickly. At this price, they need to be considered a "throw-away" item, not a long-term glove. might or not buy again

bought these in a hurry for a brother in law we employ at our place from time to time. He didnt say one way or the other but didnt complain about them and has used them on a few occasions when heavy utility gloves were needed. they're not the best but adequate and worth the price.

3 of the 5 pairs were cut and seamed well. The other two were knotted and so poorly woven that I could not wear them (much too tight and awkward between thumb and index finger). Given the price, Im not sure I can complain. And the other 3 pairs lasted me a graciously long time, given the type of work that I do. 3 stars because I'd rather pay $25 and know I have 5 solid sets of gloves, than pay $15 and not be sure how many of the pairs are going to be usable.

These gloves seem perfect for what I need them for (doing basic yard work). They do smell very weird as many of the other customers have already pointed out. The smell is the only thing I don't like about these gloves. After I opened them in my room I left and when I came back hours later my room smelled and continued to smell for the rest of the day. But honestly $12 for 6 pairs of gloves is a good deal. I'll just have to wash my hands with soap after using these gloves.

I go through gloves like crazy with my job. So I don't like to spend a lot of money on them but I still need something decent to protect my hands. These do the job just fine and last about as well as can be expected for the money. My only problem with the ones I got is they have a VERY strong odor that takes a while to go away. I can see where some might not even want to use them because of the odor! It must be some chemical they use to preserve them or something but it sure is strong! Also what I did appreciate about these gloves was they are soft right out of the box. Some of the leather work gloves like this are very hard and have a break-in period. Not these they are very usable right out of the box. Hope this helps!

Sizes run small based on the gloves I received. Men's size medium is too small for a woman who typically wears woman size large glove with average length fingers. Gloves fingers are way too short to fit comfortably (with short fingernails). The vinyl coating prevents the material from stretching so you are left with the glove's V between the fingers ending up near your finger joints.. I do like the cotton material, it probably breaths well.

My husband uses these as a package handler and unfortunately they don't hold up as well as we had hoped. The coating began peeling off within a weeks time. These may work well for less aggressive use, just not for what he does. We were trying to find a more affordable option than what he had previously purchased from a catalog.

Pretty good glove for the money last longer than the really inexpensive ones

Gloves are as advertised, great bargain for disposable gloves. My only complaint is the sizing; ordered the x-large gloves and they fit like a medium/large. Same XL GLOVES at the hardware store fit perfectly. Gloves in general on Amazon tend to run small. Order accordingly

gave only 3 star because of sizing... its more like a small, other then that its similar as the ones you get in home d

I have tried PLENTY of gloves. Even some costing nearly 30$ a pair! I work at UPS as a sorter so I use these everyday, 5 days a week. I use to always buy gloves at wal-mart which was similar to these which was about 4$ a piece. I later found out that homedepot have a 3 pair deal for 10$. Still not nearly as good as these. 12 pairs for 15$? You cannot get a better deal. I use these gloves very heavily and they last about 2-3 weeks. And when I say very HEAVY, I mean sorting hundreds of thousands of boxes a week ranging anywhere from 1-70lbs. If you don't use these as heavily as I do, I can see the pack lasting a year in total. Great gloves, one of my first reviews on Amazon, just because I use them everyday and their that great. Also buying another pack lol.EDIT: I ordered my second pair, same size but it was definitely bigger. Not that much bigger, but noticeable. I returned it and ordered the medium. It was way to small for me. So I just re-orderd the large ones again. Again, bigger than my first purchase, but since it's so cheap, I can live it with, I just can't work as fast. Also I would like to mention my second purchase of these gloves are very weak. They started shredding a bit after only 6 hours of work. They barley last me a week now. I'm definitely reconsidering my next order of gloves.Gonna give these gloves another shot, going to edit after I finish the batch or per gloves If It's bad. 8/24/14 -

Really inferior quality gloves, but for the money, maybe they're OK. Treat them almost like they're disposable, or just use them for very light duty work.

Warning. I always buy "Large" size gloves with no problem. These run small; I had to give them away to some employees as they would not fit.

Worh the money. Just cheap gloves. Quality of the product not so good. They smell bad.

BEWARE-- I'm not sure where these gloves were stored, but when the packaging was removed, they reeked of insecticide and or some chemical. I opened them inside the house where my husband was feeding and playing with our 4 month old. There is something dangerous on those gloves and it filled the downstairs with this strong chemical. I immediately put them out in the garage. It stunk up the garage,too. It wasn't until a few hours later that the smell wasn't noticeable anymore. I don't know what is on those gloves, but I'm worried about what chemicals I exposed my family to. I'm grateful I didn't go out to get the package while holding my child. There should be chemical warning on this box- or no chemical used on the product at all.Gloves seem to be what I purchased and will work fine. I'm just not sure if I want to use them became they are coated in some dangerous chemical. BEWARE.

The gloves are strong but they stink to high hell when you open the package. They smell like really strong burnt rubber, or off-gassing chemicals. I ended up throwing them in the dumpster bcs I live in an apartment and had no where to put them. The burnt rubber chemical smell totally overwhelmed my entire 2 bedroom apartment. The gloves might've been alright if I had a shed or garage to let them them air out for a week first.

I've ordered these gloves before because they were heavier duty than what was available in the box stores. The leather on the gloves I just received is much thinner. Also one of the brand new gloves has a hole in the palm making it unusable. Return policy says I have to return defective pair within 30 days or be responsible for both charges. The postage to send it back probably would be more than the value of the glove.

1) It smells bad even outside, 2) It is surprising that it does not provide a sure grip, 3) It has less tactile touch ability than other gloves like it.I was looking for a pack of gloves to match what I liked from HD when they sold out. Oh well.

For me, too small and hot.

I am a package handler/ Sorter at a local UPS Hub. I bought these hoping to save some money in the long run instead of buying a $2 pair every week. I felt like this was a good price for a dozen, but the gloves didn't last a day before tearing. So as a result I blew threw a dozen in a short amount of time.I recommend buying Nitrile Gloves

These gloves look good and seem to have a strong build but once you use them they wear really fast. I wore these gloves for a day and I noticed that the stitching around the thumb area began to come apart so I thought maybe it was just one bad pair out of the pack of 14 that I brought but I'm now on my sixth pair and the same thing is happening. So to make a long story short I don't recommend anyone buy these gloves. Oh buy the way I drive a fork lift and I do very little manual labor so hopefully that gives you an idea of how these gloves last.

warehouse workers went through them in a day... ripped at the thumb/index joint, the rubber stated separating from the glove. better to spend another dollar a pair and get ones that last a week

I returned these gloves. One hand fit fine and the other was tight. Never had that happen of a pair of gloves before. Every pair in the bunch was this way. If they had fit, the quality, price and shipping would have been fine.

These gloves were of terrible cheap quality. We returned them successfully.

I just received a five-pack of these and they are very low quality: thin cowhide that appears to have gotten wet at some point, lousy stitching, and actual holes in the leather of one or two. Compared to the ULINE cowhide gloves I have purchased in the past, these are complete junk. I purchased these to place into earthquake preparedness kits for clients, and I cannot in good consciousness include these lousy gloves in my kits.

I am not sure how the heck these gloves were manufactured, but once the packaging is removed, they have a just awful odor. It smells something like naphthalene mixed with insecticides and embalming fluid. After wearing a pair for two minutes, the stink permeated my hands and wouldn’t even wash off. My wife made me put them outside as even when contained in a Ziploc bag they still made the kitchen reek.Utterly disgusting. Amazon should investigate and eliminate this product.

In a 5-pack these were $2.73 a pair, so I know I'm buying cheap gloves. Still, the smell was so bad I had to put them outside for about 3 weeks to air out. They still smell a little but at least they don't stink up the whole room.Also, these are extremely poor quality gloves. Again, I know they are cheap, but I've used 3 pairs so far and all 3 have had a hole in at least one of the gloves. The stitching is very poor.Even if you think of these as single-use/disposable, these aren't great gloves. I'd have been much happier buying a single pair of $15 gloves that will last much longer than all 5 pair of these. Lesson learned.

I aired them out for two days and they still smelled horid. No one in their right mind would wear them with this overpowering and noxious smell. I tried to return them but could not stand the smell long enough to box them up so I ended up just throwing them away. I'm not exaggerating. These gloves have a really bad toxic smell!

I thought these were the same gloves you can find virtually any store: kinda cheap, but adequate and usually coming in a 3-4 pack or something so you can buy a pack for a job and not get bent if they are destroyed and lost. What we got was a torture device. The middle two fingers are hard and stiff as if they'd been dipped in glue and it was allowed to harden. The seams inside the thumb and the pinky rubbed two blisters on my husband's hand and the stiffness of th emiddle fingers caused him to drop things and be unable to grasp others. If it weren't just twelve bucks and not worth the effort, I'd definitely return them. Do NOT recommend.

BUYER BEWARE ! ! ! You may end up like i did and only receive 9 pairs of gloves and 3 crew member that have to now raw dog it.

A lot of the gloves were sticky almost gummy like. Hard to use. Would not buy again.

Terrible quality.

will not buy again

After only a couple of weeks of light use the latex coating on the gloves' inner, grip side got very sticky, peeling off and attaching itself to any surface it got into contact with. Those considering these good 'work gloves' apparently must enjoy the work of removing the gluey latex off tool handles or anything else it attached itself to.

I read the ad wrong I thought I was get more than just 1 dozen for that price. I think it was over priced. I returned the gloves and I'm waiting on my refund.
