CLC Custom Leathercraft 140XL Pro Framer Glove

If you’re a carpenter/framer these gloves are for you. I usually wear a large size but I want them to be tight and the medium fit great. Just the right amount of protection for your hands but plenty of dexterity for picking nails out of your pouch or manipulating tools. Don’t use these for demo work or any task that will wear them out quickly as they are not real tough and they are not meant to be. They are made to be used for framing and general carpentry work. I love them. Btw way I probably have over 50 pairs of work related gloves that I have accumulated over the decades of working with my hands so I know what I’m talking about.

These gloves were made with dexterity and durability in mind. If you need to be able to have your usual touch and precision that your thumb and index finger offer while having the rest of your hand covered from whatever you're doing then these things can't be beat. They do NOT feel cheaply made and I think they're the best dang gloves money can buy and exactly what I needed for what I've been doing.

The are the best woodworking gloves available. The two exposed fingers give you the delicate feel to pickup small objects, make sensitives adjustment, and still have good coverage for splinter and injury protection. Soft and supple, and priced so it not too much pain when you have to replace.

Good quality but after a few uses the stitches towards the end of the fingers come loose and undone. Doesn’t affect much. Good glove

I wear gloves a lot for my work but I also need to interact with touch screens and these seemed like a great fit (size wise they are!). The cut away and stiched edges make them long lasting and the soft fiber on the lower thumb areas make it great for face drying/rubbing. Not scratchy at all. However, Even with regular washing after a day or two of wearing.... My hands stink like an unwashed foot. I wash my hands regularly and have used plenty of other gloves and have never ran into this even with other CLC gloves. Unsure what the difference is but I'll be buying other gloves and just cutting the tips off. I've bought multiple pairs of this glove over the last couple of years trying to find a solution because once again they check every box I'm looking for in a glove and want them to be my goto gloves but it just isn't going to happen currently.

First off, I hate wearing gloves. I like being able to "feel" the material I'm working with. With the current trend in commercial construction, I had resigned myself to being forced to wear the latest foam type rubber gloves that allowed you a layer of protection while giving you a decent amount of tactile manipulation. These gloves go way beyond that. Yes, you end up having two finger tips and the end of your thumb exposed but the durability and comfort of the rest of the glove provides a huge amount of protection. They fit like a glove should fit! These gloves will not melt onto you when they come in contact with hot material (I'm a plumber so I'm always soldering and brazing, they would probably burn up in a welding environment). They are comfortable to wear and they allow you to pick up or manipulate the material you're working on. After a month of constant day to day use the only complaint I have is that they begin to smell a little ripe. You'll need an extra pair to allow for washing and drying. The gloves themselves are holding up wonderfully with no noticeable wear and tear. These are a pair of gloves that you find yourself looking to put on after break rather than being forced to wear them.

Well almost perfect. when I got them I couldn't wait to look at them and try them on... The fit wonderfully .. But a tiny bit of the stitching started to unravel. But has not come apart. been using almost everyday. for over 7 hours straight. They are holding up strong. And they really do help my get my job done. started to smell bad after the 2nd week .. But washed them 3 day before the reviews. Pleased to say that now every time my hands get close .. I smell fresh clean laundry. And for the price .. I will be buying them again .. but only when needed. maybe next year .. not sure yet .. and not sure that i will have to ... What can I say... They are a gift to my hands. Update... Sep 30, 2016 fix some of my spelling errors. And will say again .. They are a gift to my hands !!! Update Feb 25, 2017 Well did there job well .. put in another order today.

This is my third pair and often wear them year round as they offer good hand protection while allowing fingers to grab an hold things without being too warm in the summer months (In the depth of winter (say below 30 degrees while woking outside, you will likely need additional protection from the cold).
