I work in a warehouse freezer stacking 50-100lbs empty wood pallets. I haven't gotten any splinters with these on. There is no impact resistance in them, so for stacking wood they will work great, but unless your wearing like a medieval armor gauntlet, I don't think your gonna find a glove that will protect you from dropping 70lbs of anything on your hand.

Yes and no it will hurt like no tomorrow but i would not trust it for that.

I would not trust them for that i work with produce and dropped 50 pounds on my hand and it hurt badly but i was ok and worked the rest of the day but that was potatos i think wood is a different story.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

I can't advise you on this matter, however I tend to believe they may be suitable. Please follow the reccomended heat advised by the manufacturer. The fit of the glove should be coverage against splatter or spill, in most cases. I feel fairly confident in personally using these for the use you describe.

I use the gloves to put wood into my stove and they protect me from the flames. However, I would never use them to pick up burning wood. That's what metal fire tools are for. With long enough exposure to high heat, leather will burn and the heat will penetrate to your hand.

I've used the gloves as oven mitts, to protect my forearms when I reach way back into the oven. They work perfectly for my purpose. As to sharp objects, I can't say, but they are made of fairly thick suede leather, to prevent burns, and I would imagine it would take a very sharp object, propelled with considerable force, to penetrate them. I wouldn't use them as gauntlets for protection from saber thrusts, or to shuck oysters, however.

I understand your concern. I put on a pair of work gloves with suede palms and was able to set the trap on the first try. I too am lacking hand strength and the gloves really helped. And..this trap works. I had a gopher eating the roots of everything in my garden. I caught him the first day I used this trap and haven't had any trouble since. Amazing how much damage one lousy gopher can do.

I don't know much about wood carving, but since the glove protects your hand against cuts from the mandolin, I'm assuming it will keep a knife from making nicks in our hand, if the knife slips.

I use these gloves when chopping food. They are excellent at stopping nicks and cuts from a blades light slicing motion but I do not think that they are designed to offer much protection from stabbing or hacking blades. I would not use these gloves with any electrical blades, routers or saws because they are fabric and could get caught in the mechanisms.

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

I'm not a professional tree climber but I can attest to this: they grip your hands very well and aren't excessively padded or bulky. I'd use them for climbing.

They might. They are snug without being constricting. In the garden the material, though sturdy, is thin enough for exacting work. You might also consider the gloves which are "fingerless," from about the knuckle to the tip of the finger.

Sure these will protect you I've used them and these gloves protect your hands like nothing else. This material is really tough!!

No! They will burn you if you try. Gloves for burning logs are made from specially treated leather. Hope this helps

I suppose you could, but I would use a metal tool and save the gloves for handling a hot metal tool. You could burn a hole into them handling a burning log directly. You might get away with a quick flick, but they act more as as shield. I cook very hot when I cook sometimes and they are comfortable to wear even when its hot outside.

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

I'm not the best person to answer this question because I don't use gloves when I practice yoga. However I'd hazard a guess and say no because it offers no protection for your palms.
