Best Performance
$2.80 per pair
Purchased for: $14
Made In: China
Premium suede double palm and index finger work gloves with a rubberized safety cuff. Very durable and protective, but stiff and less comfortable.
Dominated abrasion, impact, and puncture testing, making it the strongest value if comfort is not the top priority.
Best Comfort Upgrade
$20.00
Purchased for: $20
Made In: China
Insulated leather work gloves with 3M Thinsulate lining and full-grain cowhide construction. Good comfort, flexibility, and protection.
A strong all-around option with better comfort and flexibility than the G&F while still performing well in protection tests.
Best Budget Balance
$10.00
Purchased for: $10
Made In: China
Split cowhide gloves with cotton lining. Claimed abrasion, puncture, high-temperature, and cut resistance.
A low-cost glove with strong overall value, including good grip, abrasion resistance, and impact performance.
Prices are the purchase prices reported in the video. G&F and Palmer were sold as multipacks, so price-per-pair values are included.
Lower price is better. Multipack prices were converted to per-pair prices where possible.
Measured weight of one pair of gloves in grams.
Lower force is better because stiff gloves can increase hand fatigue. DeWalt was discussed qualitatively, but no clear numeric bend-force value was stated in the transcript.
Measured force in pounds required to slide a weighted steel piece across the glove. Higher force indicates more grip.
Measured time in seconds for an electric knife to cut through the glove finger. Higher time is better.
Number of passes against 180-grit sandpaper before the glove finger wore through. Higher is better.
Total damage to the wooden dowel in millimeters after impact testing. Lower damage is better. Some values are calculated from the dowel measurements stated in the transcript.
Measured force in pounds required to puncture the glove fingertip or primary tested fingertip layer. Higher is better. Approximate values are used where the transcript stated “just over” a value.
