Custom Leathercraft CLC 140XL Pro Framer Glove

The are the best woodworking gloves available. The two exposed fingers give you the delicate feel to pickup small objects, make sensitives adjustment, and still have good coverage for splinter and injury protection. Soft and supple, and priced so it not too much pain when you have to replace.

First off, I hate wearing gloves. I like being able to "feel" the material I'm working with. With the current trend in commercial construction, I had resigned myself to being forced to wear the latest foam type rubber gloves that allowed you a layer of protection while giving you a decent amount of tactile manipulation. These gloves go way beyond that. Yes, you end up having two finger tips and the end of your thumb exposed but the durability and comfort of the rest of the glove provides a huge amount of protection. They fit like a glove should fit! These gloves will not melt onto you when they come in contact with hot material (I'm a plumber so I'm always soldering and brazing, they would probably burn up in a welding environment). They are comfortable to wear and they allow you to pick up or manipulate the material you're working on.After a month of constant day to day use the only complaint I have is that they begin to smell a little ripe. You'll need an extra pair to allow for washing and drying. The gloves themselves are holding up wonderfully with no noticeable wear and tear. These are a pair of gloves that you find yourself looking to put on after break rather than being forced to wear them.

These gloves were made with dexterity and durability in mind. If you need to be able to have your usual touch and precision that your thumb and index finger offer while having the rest of your hand covered from whatever you're doing then these things can't be beat. They do NOT feel cheaply made and I think they're the best dang gloves money can buy and exactly what I needed for what I've been doing.

I just purchased a second pair of these great gloves. The first pair actually lasted through two years of heavy framing use. Pretty impressive. I don't know of any work glove that will last that long. The gloves protect your hands very well and are fairly comfortable and form fitted, maintaining a high level of dexterity.On the down side... I noticed that the styling has changed a bit, with the thumb hole being larger in the newer gloves (both pair in size large). The two cut-off fingers are slightly longer as well. I ended up snagging material a few times with that larger thumb hole. These changes are not really a big deal. They just didn't seem to work as well for me.The fit is critical for the best performance. If possible, I would recommend trying on a pair before ordering to make sure you maintain that trim fit. I usually wear large work gloves and, with these, I'm right on the border between medium and large (according to the included sizing card that the gloves come attached to).

i use these gloves for its wide range of reachability and i can do precision jobs with a little more ease

Comfy, durable, and good grip. However, they stink up really fast. Within the first week of usage, my hands would get stained with this nasty stench from sweating in the glove. I tried washing them by hand with different soaps as well as pouring laundry detergent straight into each glove before adding to a load of laundry. Neither of which helped at all. I would even dry them with a double dose of dryer sheets in each. Still no positive results.Overall, I like them. Just wish they didn't stink so badly.

Really like these gloves work really.wellBut can't buy them.anymore they just don't hold up the seams constantly fail along the sides of the fingers every single time .

Keeps your fingers free to tie. Absolutely love these gloves
