20 Best Gloves For Woodworking (2022 Updated)

The gloves are nice, however the sizing is not very consistent. I bought 2 pairs of mediums and one was too small and the other fit. The leather is good quality and they seem well made but you might need to order a couple pairs in whatever size you need and see which ones fit you best.

Overall – nice gloves.

I have never owned a Friskmaster Glove but this is the Resistor Glove. My law enforcement career includes state corrections, state police, and federal law enforcement. My resume includes emergency medical technician, search and rescue, firefighter, plus over four years as an embedded police trainer and advisor in Afghanistan.

These are excellent general duty gloves which work exceptionally well for hand to hand fighting, combat tactical shooting, & even writing. The tactile feel is like a second skin. my 10 and a half inch spread from pinky finger to thumb tip is perfect for a size 2XL.

I highly recommend these Resistor Gloves.

Bought these for motorcycle riding.. Perfect, soft leather with the reinforcement of Kevlar. Thought that they might be a bit bulky but they really are comfortable. Thanks for a quality product.

Great gloves! They do tend to get wet pretty quick, but dry out well enough. Only real problem I have with them is that even a size small is still too big for me so the cuffs don’t do as good of a job keeping out the cold/snow as I’ sure they could if they fit properly.

I’m 5’4 and petite for reference.

Im pretty hard on gloves and wear them almost daily from late October until March. After the first winter the right hand tore at the seam in the web of the thumb. I put a couple stitches in it that lasted the next winter.

The seam opened at the beginning of the third winter and I kept wearing them but retired them after that. The gloves kept me warm through three iowa winters and the knit cuff never stretched out of shape.

I regret buying these gloves. This company is not one I will choose to buy from in the future. I can not support a company that runs authoritative practices.

These gloves are my go-to for everyday maintenance and work. The fingerless parts allow for fine tactile work and the rest of the gloves protect very well without feeling bulky or stiff. They wash easily with laundry and dont fall apart in the dryer.

I will say that with everyday work, I go through a pair in about one to two months depending on how rough the job is. I wouldnt recommend them for heavy construction or handling abrasive stuff all day everyday.

Theyre perfect for stuff around the house, stage hand, light lumber and definitely for electrical work.

I use the gloves nearly everyday in my profession. They fit good and protect my hands from most injuries. Only cons about them is that the stitching needs a little more attention. They seem to come apart on the 2 fingers that aren’t cut off after a few months of repetitive use.

Other than that I would, and do recommend these gloves if you work with your hands a lot.

Comfortable. Well made. Breathable. Stylish. These finger-less gloves (thumb, index, middle) allows easy use of hand held device like a phone or tablet.

This is the second version of these gloves that I have bought and I loved both (lost the first so I can’t really speak about longevity). I have small hands and struggle to find gloves that aren’t too long in the fingers.

The mediums fit great in finger length. They were quite snug when I bought them but a days worth of working in them loosened them up to a comfortable snug fit. I highly recommend these for women with small hands or anyone who struggles with finding gloves that aren’t too long in the fingers.

They are a little on the pricey side but I don’t mind paying it for a decent set of well fitting gloves. They work on a touch screen too which is a nice little bonus, although not a particular selling point with me.

The only real con that I have found is that they are girly colors. Even the black ones have some fairly loud pink thread. I am not a girly girl so I would prefer black or gray or some other subdued color.

However a hard days work has them sufficiently dirty to hide it.

I’m a police officer from Texas, and used the previous version of these gloves on a daily basis for well over a year. The original Dex was one of the best perfroming pairs of gloves I have ever owned, but after a short time with the Dex II it is immediately apparent the synthetic leather is severe loss of quality and performance.

The synth leather is very slick, with almost no grip whatsoever. Regardless of what you are trying to hold, you will have a far better grip with your bare hands. The fabric is considerably softer as well, which would not be a problem for casual gloves; however, for a pair of work gloves, the softer fabric feels far less safe and has already been snagged a few times on coners.

I am concerned that this overall drop in quality across the board means the synth leather will not hold up as well to cuts and needle points. The gloves also run one to two size small, with the Men’s XL fitting tightly enough the velcro strap barely reaches the wrist, and the fingers are all uncomfortably tight.

Were it not for the previously mentioned problems, I would assume some regular wear might break the fitting in, but I do not trust these gloves well enough to wear that long. Even then, I doubt it stretches enough to fit similar to the real leather work glove version.

I cannot recommend these gloves. They have a lot of strong points, but the weak point is massive. The seam between the leather and the thumb gives out so easily. I took this picture after owning them for 2 weeks, and working in them for maybe 20-25hrs.

Mostly digging trenches for sprinklers and building a small retaining wall.

These are my go to gloves. I tend to wear them out on the 1st finger and thumb tips. Any glove of any brand wear out here first. There cheap enough to use and toss then get another pair from the pkg.

I’ve gotten them wet and they get stiff on drying but loosen up with wearing again. Never are they as perfect. I have and like those tight fit calf leather with cuff strap gloves but they are pricey for the durability.

Buy the better ones- those expensive ones and buy a pkg of these. You’ll find that these will also become your go to gloves. You’ll be saving those pricey ones for less severe duty.

Well, although these gloves proved to be durable and have good quality, nothing lasts forever. This is about the third pack of these gloves that I have purchased over the past two years. For the work I put these gloves through – digging, ripping, pulling, lifting, etc.

– they have shown again and again to be well worth the purchase. I do a great amount of gardening and have many prickly bushes. These gloves not only made the work easier, but also protected my hands from what would have been serious cuts and bruises.

I mistakenly left a pair out in the rain once and after they dried, I was still able to use them a if nothing happened. Highly recommend this product.

These first reminded me of the old garden gloves – the ones that ripped easily. The backs of these are just like those – they breathe and keep your hand from sweating. And the palm side is a decent thickness leather – they make really good work gloves for just about anything.

They aren’t designed for heat like welding gloves – but are thick enough for handling steel, etc. and seems to resist cutting for the most part. 5 pairs are a steal. Sizing is standard for a large hand – one size fits all.

Buy the Club Membership and you can usually pay for it in one of two trips to the store.

There is no indication of size on these gloves. I consider these XL sized gloves, because I normally wear a Large size comfortably and these are too big. They fit my palm just right, but every finger has at least 1cm (or half-inch) of extra glove.

This is extremely annoying because the glove gets in the way, particularly when doing tasks such as tying a knot in a trash bag. These gloves would be excellent if they were Large; at the bare minimum the company should have mentioned the size on the package!.

Since gyms reopened post-Quarantine, I’ve been sanitizing my hands up to 20 times while working out, in addition to the disinfectant wipes you must use to clean equipment. Very hard on your hands, and that’s just the gym.

I bought these Work Gloves (some call these mechanics gloves), PERFECT to use at the gym. When I get there, I sanitize my hands, put these gloves on. Versus 20 times sanitizing my hands, instead I’m spraying the cleaning material onto the Nitrile-coated palms/fingers (think paper thin rubber).

The cotton back of your hand breaths, the Nitrile coating is paper thing, so you still have finger dexterity to use your phone. You keep your hands away from your face, and the gloves take the cleaning/ sanitizing well.

You can use the same principles shopping, or anything in public. When you’re done take them off, folding them into each other. Separate them when you put them in the wash, and when they come out “DO NOT” put them in the dryer.

Just lay them out flat, they dry quick. You get 15 from Sam’s, easily lasts a week before having to wash them. I’m worried they’ll also become hard to find, so bought 4×15 packs from Sam’s Club. I can’t stress enough that as long as COVID and safety precautions are at their peak, these are an incredible find.

Great Job Sam’s Club & Grease Monkey – Awesome Price :).

Purchased these for my son as he is tearing down an engine and transmission so his hands will be in a lot of liquids not meant for human skin. I did not realize when I purchased them online that while the palms of the gloves have a rubberized texture, the back side of the gloves is a lightweight mesh material which liquids penetrate with no problem.

So, to make these work, I got him some surgical gloves at the Dollar store to wear underneath the work gloves to keep the chemicals from affecting his skin. The textured side of the gloves work great.

The Ridgecut Performance line is a great product for hard working professionals. I was drawn to the anti-vibration feature that these gloves offer. With a precise set of padding around the sensitive inner parts of my hands these gloves deliver great protection from the daily grind of hard equipment use.

The Ridgecut brands are great when it comes to performance and quality. I’m really loving these new gloves and believe I’ll try additional Ridgecut products in the future. I recommend these great gloves for anyone that works with their hands and is looking for an added layer of protection.

Solid product!.

I use these gloves for mostly working outside. They are very durable. When I use my lawnmower, the grip of these gloves is much better than some other ones I’ve tried. The vibration of the wheel is barely there.

These gloves reduce the vibration. They are not bulky or thick and the same time they are not thin either. Perfect thickness. I’ve used them on some indoor projects as well, like wood saw and drill and I could feel the difference in vibration.

Way less vibration then if I wasnt wearing any gloves. I am loving these.

These are really nice and are exactly as described. The brand on the back of the glove doesn’t rub or irritate your hand. The palm side is reinforced on the thumb and first finger which is exactly where you need extra material and protection.

The same extra protection is sewn at the pad and at the heel of the hand. All of the seams were sewn nice and flat inside and out with nothing jabbing into the hands while in the gloves especially when carrying heavy items.

(I just hate gloves that have seams between the fingers that rub when you are working, lifting or carrying!).

When I am working on general carpentry, yard work, etc. these are my first choice of gloves. They are light enough that you don’t end up taking them on and off, and the grippy coatings are just right.

Ansell seems to have accurate sizing, as every pair I have bought fits the same. They wear well. A pair lasts me a couple of weeks of full time work. These are not heavy duty; if you are laying concrete block, choose something else 🙂 But for me, they are ideal for general wear.

Zoro had a great price, about 60% of what a big box store would cost, and I got them the next day.

Great fitting gloves, good durability. I wear all them all day every day, and I go through a pair in a month. I work with drywall and sheet metal, and they hold up well!

We received the gloves that we had ordered. They came from three different locations. We ordered twelve of them. Five gloves came in the smallest box. Four came in the middle size box and 2 were packaged is a very large box.

If you do the math, 11 gloves were shipped but the reorder was for twelve. We can not tell you which of the three companies that you used shorted us by one glove.

Fit well using XL for size 8 glove hand. Comfortable. Look same as previous pairs which lasted over a growing season. Daily gardening.

Great product! Fast shipping!

Best gloves I’ve found for package handling. Last longer than any other gloves

I wear these for gardening. They are a thinner leather than my other work gloves, but are comfortable, especially in hot weather. They do a good job when working with small plants and doing some light digging or working with potting soil in planters.

I’m not a small woman, so I wear the men’s large and it fits very well.

These are just the best gloves i’ve ever had. I wear them when i’m working any task around the yard. they fit great, and can easily grab screws from my tool bag with them on. Grip on tools is excellent.

I’ve very hard on gloves, and these hold up for me. I keep a pair in the garage, and a pair in the truck. Love them!.

The gloves I purchased were NITRILE, not polyurethane coated gloves. The original NITRILE gloves of this type were absolutely outstanding. You can feel the quality immediately when you put them on. They feel good! Highly tenacious, soft, pliable, non-reflective NITRILE which makes it easy to pick up something as small as a straight pin on the first try.

These gloves are outstanding for protecting hands and tenaciously grasping all manner of things safely. Buy the NITRILE gloves. The polyurethane coated gloves (I did NOT buy) are not worth purchasing.

Nitrile would be ONE STAR. The poly gloves have a stiff, thick rubbery feel, they are reflective, lack tenacity, and quality is totally lacking when compared to the nitrile gloves. Sizing is also a problem.

The large polyurethane gloves are actually XL or XXL in size. Fingers are at least 3/8″-5/8″ longer than regular large gloves, further compounding inability to pick up small items. If the NITRILE gloves show up on the shelf again, I intend to “stock up”.

The polyurethane gloves I bought for comparison are the first and last pair I will every buy. Do not buy the poly gloves.

Since I didn’t know which circuit breaker to deactivate, I used these gloves to provide additional protection while replacing a defective switch. Worked great and provided enough reassurance that I wouldn’t accidentally electrocute myself.

Nice thickness and seem reasonably durable. Plan on buying a few more pairs.

These gloves provide a really good grip overall. I need a glove that lasts a very long time (months) and can grip a rubber band and wrap it around a package. I also have to grab packages, multiple sheets of paper, and sometimes single sheets of paper to get the packages put together.

The packages and paper are fairly easily handled with these gloves and do pretty well, but they are a little thick and it’s difficult to grab the thin rubber bands that I use. I am really looking for a disposable type nitrile rubber glove that is thinner.

I have used those thinner kind of gloves before and they pick up the small rubber bands much easier.

These gloves are the second and third pair I’ve ordered, as the first ones, size Medium, are really tight and may hinder using them for holding rocks to grind/polish. So I ordered two sets of Large, and they fit better in the palm and most fingers, but the fourth and little fingers are too long, so it’s a bit off, but I think I will be able to work with them, as those fingertips shouldn’t be crucial to getting a good grip.

I hope you work on the fit of these and come up with more standard sizes.

These gloves fit a little larger than the Radians RWG555 Axis Cut Level A4 Work Gloves. After a week of wear handling sheet aluminum and stainless steel, the nitrile coating seemed to hold up well. The only problem was in the webbing area at the base of the thumb where the nitrile was cut through but the knit held up.

Compared to the above gloves, these fared better. Still looking for something durable but inexpensive.

These are used for tasks that require a cut resistant level of A5. They are very nice gloves and the quality is nicer than the less expensive BluWolf gloves of the same resistant level. They wear nicely.

I buy a pack of 12 at a time for myself and 2 sons. We all LOVE these gloves. They offer protection from skin abrasions, give grip where needed to pick up heavy boxes OR lightweight individual items as we move through our days at the warehouses.

I used to buy from local stores but they were too expensive and lacked the tactile feel we needed. We used to cut the index finger and thumb off the others to get the feel I needed. I can even peel and apply labels without cutting the index fingers off these.

All around perfect.

Husband has short, thick fingers yet stocks shelves. His finger tips were cracking and bleeding. These have been amazing. They “breathe” so his hands don’t get sweaty. The price made us think they would be worthless but not at all.

The price helps in lessening the guilt when he leaves a pair lay while helping someone else and then forgets where they are. Will be ordering more.

I work for a company where gloves are tortured. These are undoubtedly the best gloves I can recommend for longevity, dexterity, and comfort. Best to be relatively skin tight. Most gloves are pretty toast after a week.

I’ve had a pair of these last me 4 weeks in my current profession. 2 weeks at absolute worst.

I have purchased these gloves for the last several years using my own money. I do not spend money on equipment that does not work to my satisfaction. The fit is true. The construction is perfect from pair to pair.

The 360-degree cut resistance is better than what is required by my company and customers. The impact resistance is good for the work we do (primarily petrochemical). A pair of gloves will outlast most of the other manufacturers’ similar gloves seen in the field.

I have not worn out a pair of these gloves – I’m usually giving someone a pair because their gloves are worn out, with holes and seams coming apart. I would rather purchase these gloves using my own money than rely on the gloves that my company hands out for free.

Have not had a chance to put them through their paces but they appear to be excellently made. No sloppy cheap stitching and they are very comfortable out of the package. Actually fit my size 2xl hands.

Tough gloves and feel great. Fast shipping and a great price.

Great gloves, but they have a way of disappearing from my truck! I buy several pairs at a time, since my coworkers like to “borrow” a pair. I’m a contractor and use them in construction. They have a good fit, hold up well, and give the dexterity needed for measuring, cutting, installing, etc.

I am a medium-sized female and the man’s size small fits me perfectly. I plan to use these gloves on cool winter evenings when I go out to walk my dogs. They are easy to put on and take off and should keep my hands warm.

Best quality gloves. Comfortable and strong. Last ages.

Our driver uses these gloves in his daily gloves for loading and unloading pallets. These gloves provide enough flexibility to do his job safely. They seem to be holding up fairly well. I will continue to order them since I don’t have to buy in large bulk and they are priced to compete with other companies.

I purchased three pairs of these gloves and each glove was different in terms of leather weight and quality. In some places, the leather was stiff and heavy, in other places the leather was as thin as paper.

There was was no consistency of materials between gloves. The stitching was also poor quality and I noticed some spots where the stitching hadn’t caught both edges of the leather. I couldn’t see these gloves holding up to any sort of work, so I returned them.

#sweepstakes.

These are a good pair but the description can be misleading. Where its 1 pair but it also says 12. Now im ok with 1 pair but not for $10. Maybe at least $3. If they were sold for 12 pairs for $10 then I would definitely buy these 12 pair again.

This is an amazing glove. I have used these for years and never let me down. The sizing is right on. They take an amazing amount of abuse and outlast every other type I’ve tried. I work with rough surfaces such as concrete and block.

Machine washable. Very easy to work with. I rarely take them off even to grab something small. Highly recommend you try a pair.

I have had gloves of this type before and think they are great. The rubber coating on these is heavier and doesn’t allow you to have the same touch. It makes it hard to effectively sharpen knives and broadheads.

Using these to hold material in place while I burn carve. Am very pleased: they are flexible, fit well with no extra bulk. No complaints

The boys in our warehouse need gloves to protect their hands from splinters and other potential injuries. We found these type of gloves give them the protection they need and the flexibility to move their hands.

With the kind of work they do they don’t last much longer then 2months but works better then the leather gloves they can’t grab with.

My husband is a trucker and Mechanic, he loves these gloves. He uses them when cleaning out the trailers so he doesn’t cut his hands. Great Fit! Great price! Will for sure buy for him again.

As a hgv driver I’m always connecting up to trailers we’re grease, dirt and potential hand crush areas are always prominent. After buying many pairs of gloves and always wearing them out I have found leather gloves to be very durable and protective.

The main things I look for in specialist gloves is padding, breathable, hard-wearing and do not stain my fingers etc. From the black dye!! These gloves so far have withstand everything that I have thrown at them + clean hands one thing to note no padding otherwise a superb buy.

Thanks Screwfix.

Took forever to get here and had 3 holes in the finger tips by the end of my 2nd work day. As well as stitching coming apart. Over all disappointing. Went back to my old gloves. These didn’t last a week.

I am a professional assembler that assembles grills, wheelbarrows, lawn mowers, patio furniture, patio storage, sheds and other items sold at major hardware stores. After trying a number of different brands over the years working in assembly (heavy manufacturing to light manufacturing) I think I found a glove that meets my requirements for my present job duties as far as fit, comfort, touch-screen capability and weather protection.

There are some things that I would like to see improved or beefed up in this product. Because I handle a lot of fasteners (large and small, they tend to weaken and break down the thumb and index finger tips.

The seams also begin to come apart from the friction with fasteners. I have repaired mine by super-gluing the seams and the tips because I love them so much. While there is a large selection of PPE gloves out there made of vinyl and other exotic materials, I don’t like using them because when working in cold weather they do nothing for me, and they don’t feel as solid as the Milwaukee glove I use.

I respectfully request that you look into this and possibly make this glove the glove of choice. I know I have and I would be greatly disappointed if nothing is done to improve such a great product. Thank you for your time!.

Great gloves. I like the way they feel in my hands. They are very comfortable an allow you pick up even small things. My only dislike is that you have to wash with cold water and very carefully otherwise the rubber begins to detach and disintegrate.

These are great gloves with outstanding griping power. Pulling weeds in the garden is easier with these gloves because I can grip the weeds, the weeds do not slip from your grip. Picking up a 40 pound bag of of wood pellets is so much easier than bare hands or using leather gloves.

I can pick up a nail with these. These are the only gloves I use and give them to others that are working on a project.

I love these gloves! I use them for gardening and they protect my hands from the dirt. I wash them when dirty and use them again. I highly recommend them!
