I buy these glove a week or two ago and have wear they 6 day a week , for roughly 4 to 9 hour a day and I have not have a singe problem with they yet -lrb- except for my friend steal they from I because they have not have the chance to go and get they own pair yet -rrb- . it seem to I after read several other review that the people who complain about these glove be not use they for they recommend purpose . Ironclad 's design philosophy be to make highly task specific glove -lrb- to get more information on what task these and other ironclad glove be specify for go to the iron clad website , iclad.com -rrb- these glove be not for gardening , the company say so , so why buy they for that ? of course they will not work as well . a friend of mine buy a pair of ironclad glove and use they for 5 year without any problem , and then buy himself another pair recently . it seem to I , that these glove be aware of they owner intend usage , and self destruct if it be something lighter duty then they be design for -lrb- i.e. landscaping or the weekend warrior -rrb- these glove be not for the weekend warrior , they be for anything from rig to carpentry to light demolition to law enforcement and everything in between -lrb- and gardening be not include in that spectrum -rrb-
