These gloves are tough enough for use for general household use. I use them daily for dish washing and window washing. I also use them in my workshop to protect my hands from machine oil and paint. ! find that their thickness allows extended use without disintegrating or tearing. When replacement is needed, the cost is low enough that a replacement can be used, even frequently, if needed. The shipment arrived promptly as advertised and the packaging was undisturbed. All in all, this product has met my expectations, completely.
