I love these things for working outside. I'm talking about working in the yard, wood working and of course working on the Jeep. After years of buying heavy leather work gloves for outdoor work I tried these on a whim. I never used gloves for auto repair. I do now. Nice tight fit and leather palms and fingers (on the inside). They are so much less bulky and awkward when doing other outdoor work than regular leather gloves. And these don't stiffen up like bricks over time like leather gloves. This is the only brand of this type of glove I've used and have been satisfied, but since the price has gone up 20% since I bought these I may try other brands. For now these are the only gloves I use. They seem plenty durable to me. It's true that they're not as durable as leather gloves, but you do have more dexterity which is why we use them when working on our cars. They also don't give as much protection to your hands as good leather gloves, but I'm okay with that. Yeah, I get the occasional sliver or get poked by a rose bush thorn, but that's acceptable to me. When that severe situation with a hammer or band saw comes that might cause real damage to your hands those leather gloves aren't going to be any more help than these. I prefer to have these guys for the better dexterity.
I bought two pairs. A year and a half later they are nearly worn out, (getting holes in the fingertips), but I was impressed enough with them that I bought two more pair. Don't think I didn't use them much in that year and a half. I did. Although they are finally getting a bit tattered they are still in good enough shape that I haven't yet started using the new ones I bought.
