Ironclad Box Handler Work Gloves BHG, Extreme Grip, Performance Fit, Durable, Machine Washable, (1 Pair), Black

I'm a carrier for Fedex Ground, we have a 150 pound weight limit and dealing with oversized items is part of the everyday. Lifting that much weight without having to strain fingers and deal with fully taped boxes is amazing and is a night and day diffrence. Your hands WON'T move if you try rubbing them together with these on even after a month or 2 of use. These are a game changer for my work. The grip is unmatched and stays strong for months. I've bought these gloves multiple times and the quality is always top notch. For those needing to work with touchscreen scanners like I do, I cut the thumb and index right at the first joint would be and take a lighter to it on my right glove. It will fray overtime on those digits but the grip stays the same. I like to replace these roughly every 2 months. Some reviews suggest longer. Perhaps my carrier work in particular is really rough on them due to the higher weight limit. I average 130~ stops a day with often multiple packages per stop. So I'd say roughly 7500 packages handled before needing to be replaced, pretty good!

These are absolutely great gloves! I’ve bought 10 pairs (over 4-5 years) because they are the only gloves worth using. (Anyone that handles packages all day knows your gloves will have to be replaced.) I generally expect about 4-6 months of usage from a new pair before the sticky rubber wears off the finger tips. Order a smaller size (or two sizes); they will feel small and tight at first but they will stretch out and become comfortable. Your hands might be a touch tired because you have to actually use muscles you don’t normally use but it will certainly give a better experience. I order these in medium and every other glove I wear is either XL or Large. You want gloves like this to be tight because it does you no good if your hands are just slipping around inside; unlike most gloves you want this type of box handler glove to be almost like a second skin, a sticky second skin. They are not cut proof but they do (unofficially) provide cut resistance; I have multiple times not suffered cuts to my hands because the glove stopped the blade or sharp object. Twice I have been saved from what would have been truly significant lacerations by the gloves, go to the ER type cuts which the gloves stopped. The *only* negative I have would be that occasionally the thumb gets stitched weird and the tip is kind of turned at the wrong angle so the thumb print surface isn’t exactly ideal, one single time it was bad enough that the glove was unusable but the gloves were replaced without a problem.

The very first review you see is kind of a negative review - but watch out. It's from 2001. These have definitely been redesigned in the past 12 years. I'm puzzled by some of these reviews from so-called "package handlers" from the major shipping companies. I work for a major retailer, unloading semi-trucks on a daily basis. We operate with a rather large volume of boxes (2300 to 2800 pieces per day). During 4th quarter that easily doubles. Honestly, I love these gloves and make my life infinitely easier. The terry cloth is my absolute favorite feature. Most of the time I'm swiping away sweat with the back of my hand anyways, now there's a soft cloth there for me to do it with. Regular washing has little affect on these gloves. I do wash them regularly since they'll get a little gross smelling otherwise. Fit is perfect, it is well made and have never had a problem with the workmanship of the glove. The entire palm of it is covered with silicon (as you can see in the picture). This is the absolute perfect material to handle boxes with. Boxes never, ever, and I repeat, NEVER, slip from my grasp. I use less force gripping boxes, thus saving my hands from ache and pain. I've noticed that my hands feel a lot better now that I wear these gloves. No more muscle fatigue. I can grasp plastic wrap on some furniture items with relative ease. No more having a 100 pound cabinet wrapped in plastic slip on my feet. I no longer have to think about the placement on my hands of boxes, or worry about uneven or punctured boxes. The gist here: they make my life easier and would still pay for these things if they cost $30. I won't do my job without them anymore. My only qualm: palm grip durability. I wish these lasted longer. At my current usage and volume store they last about 4-6 months. The grip slowly deteriorates till that point. The grips on the palm just disappear to a point it's not even doing anything at around the 5th month. But honestly, it's completely unreasonable to think that they'll last forever. But 20 bucks every 6 months? That's okay with me.

Wow! I will never buy another glove! I bought several gloves, trying to find one that will protect my hands with all of the different things that I do. Thorns didn’t poke my hands through these gloves. They have protected my hands from all kinds of cuts and scratches. The fabric is thin enough for me to still tie knots with fishing line. I cannot recommend these gloves enough! I am definitely sending this link to my friends. Everyone should own a pair of these gloves.

These are my third pair for a reason. Even though the fingers are slightly longer than mine are, everything else is a fit. Imagine having Spider-Mans grip on everything you held! That’s what these are like. I will say the shine will fade after a while, but the grip still grips. They feel almost like dog foot pads after a few days. It’s padded all the way around the important parts of your hand and has a sweat patch on the thumb to wipe your eyes/brow. Does what it says, will buy again when needed!

Comfortable gloves. Has grip with helps make it easier to move large and heavy boxes.

It really works well with my job. Flexible and very comfortable. I like the design and utility of the gloves. It protect my hands very well. I will buy more of this product. Thank you!

Excellent gloves. Holding up well after lots of use. My only criticism is they smell a bit after use and it's hard to get it out even after soaking.

the gloves did not last a month. Holes opened at the fingertips
