G'day.

Are there any general-purpose gloves that do the same
job as leather ones, but that are not leather? I.e keep your
hands safe during DIY and garden work?

Thanks,

P.S. "Veggie" means I'm a vegetarian, not a vegetable.
Although opinions differ on this.



As John Rumm pointed out you can get chainmail gloves. I have seen
these in use by chefs in oyster restaurants. I wouldn't want to work
near any electrical installation while wearing these, however,
especially something capable of supplying a high current like a car
battery...you'd fry your hands off!
