Firm Grip gloves at HD

[Armed Bear]

Has anybody here tried the FG gloves at Home Cheapo?

How do they stack up against the Mechanix gloves....I've had maybe 3 pairs of the Mechanix gloves and there solid, I'm thinkin about pickin up some FG gloves because they look like a good price.

Welcome to GJ, You write that gloves are solid?, if so then how do you get your hands in them?

I've had a set for about three years and have put what I would say "average use" on them and they're still going strong. I don't wear them every day, but I have used them quite a bit. Great value for money.

I like Mechanix and Iron Clad

Armed Bear,
For a regular non-pro garage fiddler like me, the FG gloves at HD have been a good value. These have been my last couple pairs of gloves:

I've tried Mechanix and the cheap Harbor Freight gloves, and I can definitely say that I do not get twice the life out of the 2-3X more expensive Mechanix gloves.
My failure points are typically the finger tips and the elastic strap to glove interface - regardless of brand.

I buy direct from these folks. Decent pricing & free shipping.

I prefer the Thresher style ........ but they keep running out of stock.

Tillman are the absolute best gloves on the market

I've recently started using those for our house rehab project and like them a lot! I used to use the leather gloves Costco carries, but needed more 'feel'. I use them for just about everything and they hold up pretty well.

I think those Mechanix style and older leather style gloves are outdated.

You can get just as much wear with the foam and nitrile coated kevlar gloves. They wear better and allow better feel, than the other style.

I've been using these for the past couple years and threw out all my heavier gloves.
