I work in film\/television production in the art department . that mean we need glove that be capable of handle so many thing out of the ordinary as well as the ordinary . these be also the glove of choice for the hard work electrician and camera crew . they move heavy equipment along with the more `` delicate '' item . I even use they in the horse barn . I easily wear they comfortably all the 12-14 hour day . thank goodness they wash out easily because I ask they to do thing any other glove I have have would not be able to do . after two year , yes , two year of regular use , my handy ironclad start to show a little wear , so I give they to a friend who love they , too . after another year I finally misplace my next pair of handy `` second hand , '' so I be back order another pair . yes , the price be more than you garden variety of glove , ... but we all know we get what we pay for . ironclad be a great investment ! ... and I be mighty particular when it come to tool ...
