Given my alter ego as a close up sleight of hand magician, I have to look
after my hands as much as possible - not always easy when handyman-ing.

Bought a pair of these 2 weeks ago

Absolutely great!! I've never found it practical or comfortable working in
gloves before, but these I wear all day. You retain the necessary dexterity
to hold screws, nails etc but protect the hands.

I've found that it is the backs of my hands and thumbs that got scratched &
cut. Two weeks on and not a mark on either hand.

Magic ...
