I wear these gloves all the time as a mechanic, and I will say they have saved my hands and fingers from angle (bench) grinders on many occasions. You almost never make a mistake with a grinder more than a touch.

[@ChaunzyCoco]

You guys should redo this but with ballistics,Installation forged by fire (ballistic gel with bone)

[@timmiller4284]

So they did forget the fact that cut resistant gloves come in different levels of effectiveness and most likely only tested a lvl 1 cut resistant glove. A lvl 3 cut resistant glove actually has metal inside it to protect against the type of cuts that they did like the scissors. So maybe try doing this again with better cut resistant gloves to make a more comprehensive decision.

[@Blue84Stang]

Actually, if you watch the start of the video, You can see they chose a lvl5 glove. though, I've never heard of "Dex Fit", and from the looks of them, may be a less expensive version. As you said, there are different levels of cut resistance, and I suspect that the same level at a variety of price points will react differently. Personally, Id like to see a range of cut resistant gloves being tested... Everything from your $20 amazon specials, up through your $100+ Hatch or TurtleSkin. Hold on, I'm gonna go make the suggestion to Project Farm... 😂😂

Reminds me of all the combs handed out to kids when I was in grade school. "Unbreakable" combs were dead in minutes. My mom explained with exasperation that it's under normal use. So, wearing these gloves and following normal slicing of other objects, you're protected from incidental cuts (may have saved Nate's thumb, for instance). However, going out with the intent to cut through them, of course that's going to happen.

[@Dee_Just_Dee]

lol, finger buddy! I sliced my right index finger a couple of weeks ago. That was a real fun morning, because my office's punch clock is a biometric hand scanner. It turns out that they don't work well when your finger is wrapped in a bunch of gauze and electrical tape. Incidentally, once all the bleeding is done, "New Skin" is an amazing little product. It's a kinda-sorta clear, flexible acrylic paint that you can apply over a healing wound... it gives it some protection without all the bulk of a bandage.
