mechanix are not built for obstacle courses or rope climbing and i cant see them holding up in a "tactical" role. still, im getting a pair for christmas because of this video.
My favorite gloves...mechanix...make really good stuff.....I have at least 3pairs...heavy duty leather...I beat them up pretty good still hold strong.
I have the "stealth" pair shown in this video, great gloves for a cheap price. Walmart sells the black gloves with white lettering where it says "Mechanix" all over the gloves for $20 also if you don't feel like buying these online and paying for shipping.
Just bought two pairs of Mechanix Framers gloves- one for work and one for shooting. I'm a long time skin-and-bones guy and I absolutely cannot stand full fingered gloves.. I have the scars to prove it!
Great vid! What would happen if you cut the tips off the trigger finger & thumb tips off will the treading come undone? Or should I burn it with a lighter?
I have two pairs of these but I have to say I actually prefer the Wells Lamont Mech Pro gloves I got at Wal-Mart for $10, and I think they are on-sale now for $8. I use them for everything, yard work, turkey hunting, shooting, they hold up well.
I use Mechanix for damn near anything. Yard work, vehicle work,camping, shooting, gun cleaning for real nasty stuff, moving, and even some paintball if I'm using certain guns that don't require a lot of finger movement. Excellent stuff. The only issue is my left one is starting to undo in the stitching at the thumb-index connection. No big deal. I'll probably pick up some new stealth ones soon or fix 'em myself.
Bought a pair of coyote brown gloves for my job at meijer they work great. I work freezer and had my hands in the freezer for about 30 minutes straight and only then did I notice the cold and then my fingertips thawed in 30 seconds.
I want to try these but I fear they will not last any better than a $5 pair. Hasn't mattered if they were $5 or $25 but I tend to get tears in the fingertips showing up in as little as a week or less.
i actually have a gray version they are an old pair they stopped making the gray i think i cant find them anywhere... great gloves i use them when working on my truck, shoveling, climbing, almost everything and they still are holding up for the 4 years ive had them
@Uri24 I was going to comment on size as a topic of note and then I saw your question. He is size large. He always says "tend to the large size" regarding his. I do have these gloves and they are excellent. They really fit well and afford good dexterity IF you are sized correctly. I do not consider my mits to be large. More like medium. This brand I take large and they are snug. I would strongly recommend fitting them in a store if you can rather than ordering online. The labeling seems iffy.
@newcoyote i wish i could messure them in a store. but i live in israel and as much as i tried, i could'nt find any gloves like these. we are a stap back in everything relates to tactical gear suply. just for you all to know a kershaw chill cust in israel about 125$. and they make it a hard time to carry it anyway. gun and knife control is all messed up in israel. just puting out my frustraition on the web, pay no attention to me
@newcoyote o and by the way. my hand size is like this: 7.3 inches from the top of the middle finger to the wrist. the length of the middle finger is about 3.3 inches and the palm is 4 inches. the width (just above the thomb) is about 3.3 inches. the length of the thumb including all 3 bones is about 4.6 inches. the thumb it self is only 2.2 inches. beside that i got very thin fingers, very much like a magician or a piano player. if you can help me with that, i will really appreciate it.
@Uri24 Comparing those dimensions to my hand & the large glove you might be a medium but it hard to say. I'm no sizing expert. I did not think of it at the time before but Mechanix actually has a sizing chart on their website. On the home page near the bottom under Customer Service is a link to a PDF. They give instructions there. That is probably your best bet at an accurate sizing which is important if you are employing them in a tactical type role, I'm sure you know. Good luck & Shalom
look for the mpact pro gloves made by mechanix you can find them in lowes lightweight very protective and i have used them as my extraction gloves for the fd
i bough a pair of these with black gloves, and white lettering from walmart for about 19 dollars so same price :) i love um!! also great for driving gloves in the colldd
Mechanix Wear gloves rock! I have several pairs for various applications, including my EDC. They hold up very well and you can't beat the price. And the dexterity factory is excellent! I'm with you--who needs the hard plastic knuckles on the back?
I've been wearing Mechanix gloves for a long time now, started wearing them when I was turning wrenches in the automotive repair industry. By far the best value in work gloves or light duty outdoor gloves
i was suprised 2 find these at my local PX recently,and at 16.99,i couldn't go wrong,so me and my brother got them...gonna test them for paintball soon and on hiking/camping this week...keep it rockin nutn
Lowes has them. I just bought some that gave you a free pair when you buy one. They came packaged together....for $20. I'm going to go back and pick up a couple more. Super Super deal.
Mechanix gloves very cool... until you burn your damn hand on open fire or grab the hot tube. Skin transplantation is what you got after. I've already got that sad experience. Tactical gloves must protect you hands and from fire, and from cold, and from impact. Buy a nomex gloves with hard knuckle and you'll never regret.
I love your reviews because they work for me. My mechanix covert gloves are awesome! I have the old style like your tan gloves. They've held up a very long time and have worn beautifully. Only issue is with the Velcro. You know how it comes off the strap. But still great gloves. Thanx tnp!
Mechanix are some of the best gloves I have used. Great feel, good dexterity, great grip and just amazing all around gloves.... I sugest checking out the website.
Bought mine 5-days ago from Amazon for $16. These have to be the best gloves for multiple applications. Thanks NutnFancy for review. Rock on'. Metal =)
I just picked up these same gloves on Ebay for an insanely low price. Same seller had other models for the same stupid low prices. Somone out there got a steal on these gloves!
Yeah I believe it is good for the gun but I am wonder what kind of glove is best for the heavy duty knife handeling and something like emergency window breaking for first responder? Thank you all.
Just purchase a pair of Mechanix Globas Part #MG-55-009 Black, on ebay for $16 dollars. Tried them out, and I gotta tell you they do rock! They are comfortable and fix perfectly. And for $16 shipped, I think is a great price.
here's a tip, since these gloves are so thin you can roll them up tight, throw a rubber band around them, and they'll fit pretty much anywhere.....your welcome
funny story, I bought a pair of mechanix gloves for work. When I put them on, the right hand glove was way bigger then the left, so I took them back and got a smaller size, and it turns out my right hand is a whole size smaller then my left, which I've never noticed before.
These gloves are amazing. I've gotten them super greasy then simply wiped them off. Try that with leather, and they'll absorb and hold the oil, then break down and fall apart. I've been using the same pair for over 2 years. Just don't try to weld in them, not enuf heat insulation. I can see getting the black or brown for tacticle purposes, but for wrenching, get something bright so they're not easily lost.
The thumb on the Mechanix gloves seem to be a tad too long in my opinion (maybe I just have short thumbs), but otherwise very well made and durable. Under Armour gloves fit like a second set of skin, but not quite as durable.
I love my mechanix wear gloves, but I have fat and short fingers - which makes it hard to find a pair that fit right. So what I do is put them on, mark the ends of my fingers, and cut the tips off about 1/8 to 1/4 inch short of my finger tips. this not only fixes the problem of extra bulk on the ends of the fingers that might get caught on something and snag or snare, but also gives me "dextrous control" with my fingertips. Example: using a cell phone with the gloves on.
got a pair of these for free for work. I bought another pair just for the range after using them to work on my car. they are ridiculously comfortable.
Hey just to let you guys know, I ordered a pair of these gloves, waiting for them...but if you decide to get some Mechanix Gloves, they do have a size chart. Do a search on Google for Mechanix Glove Sizing Chart pdf. You just print it out and make a fit. From what I've read, the size chart is very accurate.
Any particular type of gloves you recommend for use with a shotgun, because I don't know what's more annoying: trying to pick up and load the shells with bulky gloves on or trying to do it with painfully cold bear hands (since it always seems to be really cold whenever I go clay shooting). But I'll definitely keep these gloves in mind, thanks!
As a mechanic since 84 those "Mechanix" gloves really don't have the dexterity required for car work.....Working with your hands for years will build-up callouses(sp?) which will make for your 'Armor' on the hands. Try out some summer type motorcycle riding gloves. I have had a set that fit perfectly & have lasted a VERY long time.
Thanks for the recommend. I ordered a pair of these and they arrived today. I have odd shaped hands and it's hard to find gloves that fit but these do and I like the grip I get on my 1911.
Don't get those Mechanix wear gloves wet dude... they never dry out while you're wearing them and when they dry they usually turn crispy if you have any grime in them. DUde they also soak up oil or grease and never let it go.. surprizing for something intended to be used while working on cars and machinery. If you keep them clean they're great dude haha.
i love the Mechanix Wear brand and i always way a size down for a tighter fit to reduce snagging. they due tend to wear down during heavy use and i should know, i worked at a tire store and went through a pair every week but i was testing so twas free and useing them at a tire shop not so good but great for what nutnfancy talkin about. :-P
I just wore my pair of Original Mechanix Gloves to the range, in the freezing SNOW!When Combined with a pair of Under Armour glove liners these gloves were surprisingly warm and I could still load my 10/22 mags, my M1 clips, and my .22LR revolver quickly and easily.I was shooting a lot of prone and my hands were in the snow a ton and they may have gotten wet but my hands stayed nice and warm even when the wind picked up!I got them for $18 at Lowes, GREAT BUY!I want another pair for the summer!
i bought a pair of mechanix "fast fit" gloves today, I watched this video to listen to you talk about how cool they are. In fact im testing their dexterity by typing this our while wearing them right now!
I have used the ironclad brand of gloves for a long time. I have no experience with their tac-ops model. I think they would be worth giving a try based on my experience with several of their other models. Thanks for your hard work nutnfancy!
The Mechanix gloves I saw at Walmart (auto) were the black ones.The Logo was white and really stood-out,so I couldn't use them for hunting.They were made of synth-leather.
I grabbed a pair at Lowes the other day for $14... they were black with gray lettering though..... little less "cool" than the stealthers.... but convenient pick up as I was just in the store grabbing a few other items and noticed them
Nutn didn't mention this but most if not all NASCAR pit crews use Mechanix brand gloves. The way I see it if you can change four tires in 13 seconds on a hot race car and not tear your hands up in that kind of environment, then that's a pretty good testimony to their dexterity and durability.
My squadron offered me Oakley SI Assault gloves, I took 2pr of these Mechanix instead. The oakleys are nice but have too much of the "Gear Queer" look to them. The mechanix are awesome and CHEAP in price---not quality.
Like Wiley X Tactical Assault Gloves Nomex and Kevlar Or the Oakleys.
Just because you dont like to spent an extra penny on gear dont mean other people dont. Theres a story that in Iraq a US solder took a Ak 7.62 round right at the knuckle. The Wiley Saved his hand. Broke his knuckle but saved his hand.
I know this was true because i was over when it happened. To him that must have been the best well spent 100 Buks.
Got my gloves today and love 'em. Just so people know Amazon has a ton of different variations other that the ones nutn had, I didn't like the logo on his and found it a little obnoxious but they have plenty of different kinds I got woodland and they don't have a small logo on the wrist.
He's really feeling the press to get the information out..so many things to review, so little time. Some of it is going to be at the expense of production values, but Nutn is committed to getting the facts on gear (as he sees it) out. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)
You should try these gloves, they are called clean up glove corporation. They are similar to the mechanix gloves, except they have a knuckle gaurd for when u make a fist.
Thanks Nutnfancy! I have a couple pairs for garage work. They still stay wae fairly long, but most gloves will. Another note, I got a G26 today and am excited. My first GLOCK. Next I would like a G19. There's something atractive about something that is proven to work.
Anyhow, keep up your great work. First thing I do when I get on the internet is look for new vids from you.
I love gloves!!! Thanks for bringing the facts. But one talking point i think you should include is grip or traction. How are they for traction. Cause I hate to go and grab something and have to take off my glove just to turn a stubborn door knob. Anyway great vid, love the info, Keep rocken it Nutn.
Hey Nutn how is it going brother, I like your videos. When you order online how do you figure out what size is best for your hands. Do you just order and if they don't fit send them back for a different size. Does it cost extra to do that? You seem like you order online alot. Me I usually shop in stores with limited quality and selection. I am new to this online buying stuff and don't have alot of money to gamble with. I would appreciate any advice you may have.
The first time I went shooting, I came to the realization that the skin on my hands is about as soft and delicate as a baby's rear end. The web of my right hand between my thumb and forefinger had red marks and bruises from the GI-style grip safety and spur hammer on a Colt 1991A1, along with a number of other random nicks, cuts and pinched spots all over. A pair of decent shooting gloves would probably do my hands some good.
A similar alternative would be paintball gloves, which have synthetic suede palms. I have obtained pairs from 10 - 20 dollars when they are on sale. However, there are some pairs that might be too brightly colored to use in sneaky situations.
dude you can totally get some models in camo as well. Me and the guys allllllwaaayys paintball in total camo and the speedballers laugh at us but do they ever get ambushed a lot in the woods.
those stealth mechanic gloves are expensive and don't have the best duribility, they might be good for shooting because its low wear on the gloves but any kind of high impact work will destroy the "synthetic suade" in a matter of minutes.
Right on dude, these gloves are medium duty at best. They work well for tactical stuff and mechanic work. I've used them for chainsaw work and splitting wood and they function fine there too. But I'd never take them to a masonry job.
i use gloves when i play airsoft cuz i get shot in the finger tips and fingers

So what I do is put them on, mark the ends of my fingers, and cut the tips off about 1/8 to 1/4 inch short of my finger tips. this not only fixes the problem of extra bulk on the ends of the fingers that might get caught on something and snag or snare, but also gives me "dextrous control" with my fingertips. Example: using a cell phone with the gloves on.

Hey just to let you guys know, I ordered a pair of these gloves, waiting for them...but if you decide to get some Mechanix Gloves, they do have a size chart. Do a search on Google for Mechanix Glove Sizing Chart pdf. You just print it out and make a fit. From what I've read, the size chart is very accurate.

Any particular type of gloves you recommend for use with a shotgun, because I don't know what's more annoying: trying to pick up and load the shells with bulky gloves on or trying to do it with painfully cold bear hands (since it always seems to be really cold whenever I go clay shooting). But I'll definitely keep these gloves in mind, thanks!

As a mechanic since 84 those "Mechanix" gloves really don't have the dexterity required for car work.....Working with your hands for years will build-up callouses(sp?) which will make for your 'Armor' on the hands. Try out some summer type motorcycle riding gloves. I have had a set that fit perfectly & have lasted a VERY long time.

Thanks for the recommend. I ordered a pair of these and they arrived today. I have odd shaped hands and it's hard to find gloves that fit but these do and I like the grip I get on my 1911.

Don't get those Mechanix wear gloves wet dude... they never dry out while you're wearing them and when they dry they usually turn crispy if you have any grime in them. DUde they also soak up oil or grease and never let it go.. surprizing for something intended to be used while working on cars and machinery. If you keep them clean they're great dude haha.

i love the Mechanix Wear brand and i always way a size down for a tighter fit to reduce snagging. they due tend to wear down during heavy use and i should know, i worked at a tire store and went through a pair every week but i was testing so twas free and useing them at a tire shop not so good but great for what nutnfancy talkin about. :-P

I just wore my pair of Original Mechanix Gloves to the range, in the freezing SNOW!When Combined with a pair of Under Armour glove liners these gloves were surprisingly warm and I could still load my 10/22 mags, my M1 clips, and my .22LR revolver quickly and easily.I was shooting a lot of prone and my hands were in the snow a ton and they may have gotten wet but my hands stayed nice and warm even when the wind picked up!I got them for $18 at Lowes, GREAT BUY!I want another pair for the summer!

Nutn didn't mention this but most if not all NASCAR pit crews use Mechanix brand gloves. The way I see it if you can change four tires in 13 seconds on a hot race car and not tear your hands up in that kind of environment, then that's a pretty good testimony to their dexterity and durability.

My squadron offered me Oakley SI Assault gloves, I took 2pr of these Mechanix instead. The oakleys are nice but have too much of the "Gear Queer" look to them. The mechanix are awesome and CHEAP in price---not quality.

you should do a vid on High value gloves.
Like Wiley X Tactical Assault Gloves Nomex and Kevlar Or the Oakleys.
Just because you dont like to spent an extra penny on gear dont mean other people dont. Theres a story that in Iraq a US solder took a Ak 7.62 round right at the knuckle. The Wiley Saved his hand. Broke his knuckle but saved his hand.
I know this was true because i was over when it happened. To him that must have been the best well spent 100 Buks.

Hey Nutn how is it going brother, I like your videos. When you order online how do you figure out what size is best for your hands. Do you just order and if they don't fit send them back for a different size. Does it cost extra to do that? You seem like you order online alot. Me I usually shop in stores with limited quality and selection. I am new to this online buying stuff and don't have alot of money to gamble with. I would appreciate any advice you may have.

The first time I went shooting, I came to the realization that the skin on my hands is about as soft and delicate as a baby's rear end. The web of my right hand between my thumb and forefinger had red marks and bruises from the GI-style grip safety and spur hammer on a Colt 1991A1, along with a number of other random nicks, cuts and pinched spots all over. A pair of decent shooting gloves would probably do my hands some good.

A similar alternative would be paintball gloves, which have synthetic suede palms. I have obtained pairs from 10 - 20 dollars when they are on sale. However, there are some pairs that might be too brightly colored to use in sneaky situations.

those stealth mechanic gloves are expensive and don't have the best duribility, they might be good for shooting because its low wear on the gloves but any kind of high impact work will destroy the "synthetic suade" in a matter of minutes.

Right on dude, these gloves are medium duty at best. They work well for tactical stuff and mechanic work. I've used them for chainsaw work and splitting wood and they function fine there too. But I'd never take them to a masonry job.
