Ironclad Box Handler Work Gloves BHG, Extreme Grip, Performance Fit, Durable, Machine Washable, (1 Pair), Black

I'm a carrier for Fedex Ground, we have a 150 pound weight limit and dealing with oversized items is part of the everyday. Lifting that much weight without having to strain fingers and deal with fully taped boxes is amazing and is a night and day diffrence. Your hands WON'T move if you try rubbing them together with these on even after a month or 2 of use. These are a game changer for my work. The grip is unmatched and stays strong for months. I've bought these gloves multiple times and the quality is always top notch. For those needing to work with touchscreen scanners like I do, I cut the thumb and index right at the first joint would be and take a lighter to it on my right glove. It will fray overtime on those digits but the grip stays the same. I like to replace these roughly every 2 months. Some reviews suggest longer. Perhaps my carrier work in particular is really rough on them due to the higher weight limit. I average 130~ stops a day with often multiple packages per stop. So I'd say roughly 7500 packages handled before needing to be replaced, pretty good!

These are absolutely great gloves! I’ve bought 10 pairs (over 4-5 years) because they are the only gloves worth using. (Anyone that handles packages all day knows your gloves will have to be replaced.) I generally expect about 4-6 months of usage from a new pair before the sticky rubber wears off the finger tips. Order a smaller size (or two sizes); they will feel small and tight at first but they will stretch out and become comfortable. Your hands might be a touch tired because you have to actually use muscles you don’t normally use but it will certainly give a better experience. I order these in medium and every other glove I wear is either XL or Large. You want gloves like this to be tight because it does you no good if your hands are just slipping around inside; unlike most gloves you want this type of box handler glove to be almost like a second skin, a sticky second skin. They are not cut proof but they do (unofficially) provide cut resistance; I have multiple times not suffered cuts to my hands because the glove stopped the blade or sharp object. Twice I have been saved from what would have been truly significant lacerations by the gloves, go to the ER type cuts which the gloves stopped. The *only* negative I have would be that occasionally the thumb gets stitched weird and the tip is kind of turned at the wrong angle so the thumb print surface isn’t exactly ideal, one single time it was bad enough that the glove was unusable but the gloves were replaced without a problem.

These work very well in my use case for about 2 weeks, handling in that time around 15,000 packages of freight weighing between 5-100 pounds each. I normally have to replace them at the 1 month mark as the finger will split open to the point of being unusable. From week 3 to when I need to replace them the grip is already mostly gone, and the fingers are either starting to split or already split. But overall the size is perfect for me as if I get the small it stretches into the shape of my hand. It also helps you can machine wash them as it did help with how long it lasted for me. Overall it's a pretty good product just not sustainable for my workload with the price.

Been using these for years I can comfortably say that they are top notch. They are durable, they protect your hands, and they help grip the boxes better than having no gloves. Having tried a few alternatives I always find myself coming back to these.

These are my third pair for a reason. Even though the fingers are slightly longer than mine are, everything else is a fit. Imagine having Spider-Mans grip on everything you held! That’s what these are like. I will say the shine will fade after a while, but the grip still grips. They feel almost like dog foot pads after a few days. It’s padded all the way around the important parts of your hand and has a sweat patch on the thumb to wipe your eyes/brow. Does what it says, will buy again when needed!

I bought two Medium pairs; one in 2016 for $30 and the second in 2020 for $20, and the first pair held up decently under part-time heavy use in a facility with tons of twisted metal. However when using the second pair full-time they tended to fall apart rather quickly and easily, although this is understandable for the work involved and the price. Other observations include… Personal pros: -Stylish, easy to slip off/on and adjust and comfortable to wear even in sweltering/freezing temperatures. -Sleek and flexible like a second skin and the palm and fingertip padding provide a comfortable level of adhesion, allowing the wearer to quickly grab and launch smooth to rough objects. -The backing on the back of the hand provides adequate impact support while keeping the hand somewhat cool. Personal cons: -While placed well and with a good initial start, the fingers and palm grip quickly wore down and developed holes while working full-time, to the point where the gloves felt more like wearing thick hole-filled socks over my hands. -While the back of the hand is kept somewhat cool, the fabric easily absorbs moisture (sweat) and quickly becomes more expensive to clean and deodorize compared to the purchase price. -Wearing a nice-fitting headband (I recommend “Poshei Mens Headband”s) is far preferable to using the terry cloth sweat wipe area, which could be better used for say, adding additional impact resistance. Also with how many surfaces these gloves can make contact with it can be impossible to determine what is being transferred to the sweaty area. Overall I recommend these gloves for lighter, more staggered work as opposed to constant and uninterrupted work. They fit and grip well, are flexible and easy to adjust, and provide moderate protection but can quickly wear down and develop holes, smells and tears, and the terry cloth sweat wipe just seems redundant. Since these are labeled “Box Handler Work Gloves” I would dock them one star since they might not work as well for them long-term, in addition to the one star from the previously mentioned cons, giving them a comfortable 3/5!

Great gloves, works well for stocking items!

Wow! I will never buy another glove! I bought several gloves, trying to find one that will protect my hands with all of the different things that I do. Thorns didn’t poke my hands through these gloves. They have protected my hands from all kinds of cuts and scratches. The fabric is thin enough for me to still tie knots with fishing line. I cannot recommend these gloves enough! I am definitely sending this link to my friends. Everyone should own a pair of these gloves.

Comfortable gloves. Has grip with helps make it easier to move large and heavy boxes.

I used to work in logistics and dealt with boxes all day. Some light and some very heavy. The gloves never dissapointed. Always gave a good grip. So far I have used 6 pairs of gloves in about 2.5 year. What you get for the money? 1) A strong grip. 2) use phone while having the gloves on 3) the back of the gloves is of material that can be used to wipe dirt/ sweat. 4) don't come off. 5) lasts longer than other gloves. 6) grip comes easy. makes it easier and less labour intensive 7) machine wash after a few uses :) Hope this helps !

Is not comfortable at all! Very loose and does not work with phone properly. Dissapointed

As a professional box handler I bought these for work, I work 7 hour days handling boxes. These were great to begin with, very comfortable, my hands felt invincible against paper cuts... 3 weeks later I had worn holes in 4 fingers. I was pretty dissapointed as I have had the same set of Ironclad Ranchworx gloves for about 7 years for work around the house and they are still great after being thoroughly abused, they are the reason I decided to try these. Don't waste your money.

It really works well with my job. Flexible and very comfortable. I like the design and utility of the gloves. It protect my hands very well. I will buy more of this product. Thank you!
