I be a iron worker , and need the best hand protection money can buy . I try the Ironclad Heavy Utility glove in hope that they would prove to be lighter yet offer good protection against cut . after only 2 day of use `` packing rebar '' the thread wear through allow the `` DuraClad '' patch to come loose and also one of my finger keep com out due to the seam splitting ! this be not worth $ 30.00 + Dollars to I ! Stick with the $ 2.00 double leather glove we be all so familiar with , they last so much longer .
