I work in ground maintenance and as forklift operator, these gloves go through all kinds of abuse, and have taken it with no problem. I used to get the ones provided by the company, but got frustrated by how often i used to wear em out, so i decided to buy these. Wow, what a difference. 4 months and still strong. **** and dirty but no holes yet. I cut the tips off for better handling of stuff. Still have a new pair on standby....
