Cutting Through Cut Resistant Gloves 

I guess I was a bit surprised that I could slice through the glove at all ... but with light pressure, they do work

You know where these gloves are used a lot? Making windows.. The glass is cut by controlled cracking. So the edge is surgically sharp.. With these gloves, you can pick the glass from the edge and get no cuts to the hand.. Source: I've worked in a window factory.

+Ford M Garage ... awesome. I've also used them when cutting tile

Pretty much, if you need to grab a sharp edge, these gloves are great. But if you're cutting something and the blade slips, these gloves are just "better than nothing".

You can twist your fingers off using these on band saws and tables saws as it will pull it in and pinch it and twist as the saw comes to a stop or the blade breaks.

Excellent!

chop chop!

The mafia could also take off the glove first, I guess…

😂😂😂😂

Good deal! thanks for checking it out

Thanks for checking it out

Thanks!

Super interesting. Our goals of being protected have not changed but our methods certainly have. Your post makes me nostalgic for a time of such handicrafts

You said it! Absolutely

Hahahaha

I love the gloves for working with sheet metal

You're welcome to show it to whoever you want.

+SeanPerrin ... sorry man! Re touch screen ... yes, they actually work

Gloves can definitely get stuck in power tools of all kinds

Don't wear gloves around spinny things. Better to have a few cuts and splinters as opposed to having to clean finger paté out of the drive mechanism.

Don’t get the rubber gripped ones and you’ll find they’re okay with heat

@@metaspencer thanks

It's a great one! It's here: amzn.to/2klVtLD

These offer "level 5 protection" which isn't perfect and 100% safe, but much better than human skin! amzn.to/2l0UQGg

Maximum Joe ive seen that the best glove type for ultimate CUT protection is the chain mail butcher's glove. only downside is that it can be vulnerable to penetration depending on the weave and size of the links

Butcher's gloves are a real investment though… the most effective protection against pointed objects would be steel plate, but plate gloves are quite unwieldy and probably more expensive still, but they do make you look a bit like a knight…

+Ronan Games ... and not stab proof. And not slice proof

I'll have to try those. thanks!

No you idiot he was asking a question. Were those gloves level 5 cut proof? They look like they are be. If you were to do your research before you did this you know what what level 5 cut proof are rate for. They are only rated for light-med slicing cuts. Not chopping with an axe which would be a chainmail or aggressive using the point of a box cutter/exacto blade which would need probably a level 7 or 8 (a thicker work glove). This type of glove you have is meant for stuff like food prep which you're just gonna knick yourself while dicing. www.superiorglove.com/documents/SuperiorGlove.com-Guide-to-ANSI-EN388-Cut-Levels.pdf

Notice how in the last example. You barely cut through the glove when using a ton of pressure and doing a SLICING motion. If you're using that much pressure when cutting meat/veggies then you're doing it wrong. On top of that the gloves don't work properly when filled with a hard surface. They work better when there's something soft under it. Your finger is squishy so when the knife presses against the glove it has to press down until its against the bone before it will put pressure on the actual strength of the glove (because as you say if you just glide a knife over it it stops it 100% so until theres pressure on it it's still not even denting the material). By that point you would normally react and pull the knife away by then. But again if you cut like a maniac like you do then you'll keep going, in which the glove will start to use its cut resistant material. So hopefully by then you'll be able to pull back, but if not then when you push harder it will slowly start to break after you exceed the amount of pressure needed to break the material in which you would have slowed the knife down majorly so the cut will by like a papercut. But again if you have some knife skills the glove should be enough to stop it. Source: Me I am a meat cutter and I have some cut resistant 5's and I have yet to break through them.

I've had good luck with them on chainsaw chains and with chef's knives, but if you CHOPPED with that knife you'd be in bad shape

nor chainsaws :)

Yeah, well said.

Yikes! Maybe try washing them before wearing? That might remove some of the fibers before they become airborn

@@metaspencer Ha, not a chance cobba, these gloves have been industrially washed many times before. Just shake em in the right light, you'll see what I mean!

SeriousSchitt crazy! Thanks, I’ll check it out

Too many burritos! 🌯

*_Your video saved me several hundred dollars!_* I have been searching for gloves with a specific purpose in mind & considered those particular gloves, but decided to search for a product review video & found you. You answered all the questions I had in mind with clear demonstrations. See, when I decide to purchase certain equipment I have the habit of buying enough for me & my wife & back-ups for both of us. (2 is 1 & 1 is none) Therefore, had I chosen those gloves (which are obviously good for many other purposes) I would have spent hundreds of dollars. Thank you for such excellent effort.

Excellent. Happy to help -- and I had fun doing it. The beans suffered, of course :)

Well, I don't know if anyone would risk really cutting with the gloves on the hands ... so I was going for the next best thing. Good luck out there!

Also no hate intented, just try putting something soft "skinlike" under the gloves next time and u will be amazed by the difference.

that's a great idea. I'll think of something ...

Jan Hesse my boss was wearing these and normal rubber gloves over and under and after sharpening his knife (at work) he started to cut Basil and he cut his finger off it was funny

woah, that's crazy! you can't trust them too much, that's for sure

a simple mistake. my bad

you clearly know your knives
