Very disappointed..
I'm a fanatic of Milwaukee tools.. but this gloves don't last very nice looking but trash.. don waste you money ...

    Was the best...
    I have never seen a the quality of a product drop so quickly. A few years ago I would have given these gloves a great review. However, Milwaukee decided to drastically reduce the quality and jack up the price. Now, these gloves are about as durable as a wet paper bag. Even the fit even got worse. These won't even make it through a light day of actual demolition work. The picture was taken after handling broken up concrete after only 5-hours. Don't waste your money on these if you do actual work.

        I’ve had theses gloves for a little over a week and the velcro has failed. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is experiencing this. why not get rid of the Velcro and use a elastic band like a waistband put around the wrist to keep it securely on your hand?

        Okay for light demolition.
        Okay for light demolition but I used them to carry broken concrete and the finger tips wore through within a couple days

          Tsk Tsk Milwaukee.....Fail Big Time
          I found the glove fit to be excellent for me as I have long fingers. I was willing to pay the 27.00 because of the fit and it was a Milwaukee product. Sadly the gloves fell apart during my first project. I built a small retaining wall and had to handle 105 paver stones/bricks. By handling I mean taking them off the shelf at Home Depot, loading them into my car, unloading from my car into a wheelbarrow, and handling them as I built my wall. The picture shows what is left of the left glove.

            They fit like goalie gloves! The width is ridiculously too wide!
            I ordered these because I have rather large hands. The length is perfect. But the width, that's were these become useless. When i put these on, the i feel like I should be defending a goal. They are so huge! I can't grip a nail or a screw because there is so much material in the fingers. I have never worn gloves so wide. I guess i could wear gloves underneath in the winter. Thick ones. I'm sure Home Depot wont let me return because i used them. I had to. Needed gloves and didnt have time to get another pair. The stores never carry XXL.

              Great for splitting wood
              I have been splitting a bunch of wood lately and have about a month on these gloves now (about every other day). I even rip and wring bark off the logs and limbs with them. When splitting limbs with curves that won’t balance on my chopping stump, I hold the piece with a splitting axe and whack the axe with a 4lb mallet. My axe hand used to get numb doing this, but not with these gloves. Nice padding, but it doesn’t restrict maneuverability at all. I am a fan of these gloves.

                Good For Landscaping and Hardscaping!
                I use these for working my landscaping maintenance job and during the winter when doing projects outside in the cold in Southern California. They do a good job at keeping your hands warm and dry and well protected. The pads on the palm and fingers and side walls are very nice for grip and comfort from any vibrating power tools or gas powered tools. The terry cloth on the thumb tops are great to wipe sweat off your brow or face but be sure to wash them often. The only thing I don't like is the sure swipe knuckle that doesn't seem to work on my apple watch screen so I just use my nose tip to turn off timers or silence calls etc. I wish the finger tips had some of the touch screen friendly material because the gloves a somewhat snug after using them all day. The velcro strap stays on well and the rubber bumpers on the top of the knuckles really help prevent any injury or jammed/bumped hands into things. Really great gloves and a great deal if you can find them on sale!

                1 and Done!
                I bought these gloves to demo a garage and shovel some dirt and they literally lasted 1-day of 8-hour usage. I was super disappointed since every Milwaukee item I have ever bought has been amazing. I would have thought they would have lasted a bit longer. I know they aren’t meant to last forever but come on.

                  Fell apart worn through in two weeks of framing
                  All looks, no durability. Totally fell apart beginning the third week. See the photo after 2 wks of framing. A rip off. Good tools, but these gloves suck. Will not buy again.

                    Great gloves for outside work. Durable so far. Have used them chopping wood and handling rough surfaces. I liked them so much bought a second pair for working on the car.

                    Perfect if you are into herbal tea and making mandalas
                    If you like pastel colors, dusting off old books, and making hand made beaded jewelry these MIGHT be for you, but if you have to get stuff done around the farm, the workshop, or the construction site leave these gloves behind. These Milwaukee gloves (ironically "professionally made in China") just tore apart in no time. Back to Mechanix gloves for me.

                      Poorly Sewn
                      Putting the gloves on for the third or fourth time, the velcro band portion of the gloves came right off. Not what you'd expect from a $25 pair of gloves.

                        waste of money
                        Bought these gloves 3 days ago the replace a pair of worn out Mechanix brand I’ve had for 2 years. These lasted literally 1 sheet of plywood, ripping old subfloor out and replacing with a new sheet. I kept seeing little black pieces of rubber all over the place before realising it was from the gloves. All the finger tips and the palm area have this material, and its already coming off after a 1/2 days use.

                          Not worth the price
                          Given that these are marketed for demolition and are relatively expensive, I picked these up for demo and general construction work around the house. I’ma good DIYer but not a pro, and wore these out in a week or two of medium duty work. Expected more from the Milwaukee brand

                            Not Worth The Extra Money
                            I bought these hoping to finally get some gloves that last. Well, that didn't happen here. Both thumbs are worn out and most of the grippy pads are falling off. Save your money and buy the cheaper gloves, they last longer in my use. By the way, my use for these gloves has strictly been chopping wood and moving logs. Neither of which should have caused them to wear out in under a months time.

                              The gloves are more expensive, but the duration was the same. Fingers covers have to be stronger. The back part are ok when the fingers area were totally destroyed, ALSO The velcro tape was totally removed from the gloves, under machine wash procedures.

                              I wore through one of the fingers in less than a day of ceramic tile removal. They feel nice but they don’t last

                                Fantastic 3 season work glove, not bulky and enough meat to protect the digits. I tried the Milwaukee Demolition Gloves to save money initially, however I found them to be for me..., my new "go to" work glove. Not only am I saving apx. $10 per from what I use to buy, but they are doing a better job for me. I'm a steel hauler that likes his WD-40 on his chains and binders. I'm still on my first pair after three months of daily use. no rips and the WD has not soak through to my hands unlike my other work gloves that are good too, just not as good and over priced. I don't have large hands so the fit for me was spot on including the length of the fingers and thumb. Get a pair, you'll be happy you did.

                                I needed a pair of gloves that will do for low voltage work during the winter. I'm used to the gloves that have the thumb, first, and second fingers cut back, and debated doing the same to these. I chose not to because the quality of these gloves is much better. The Smart Swipe feature is non existent, but that's a minor setback for me. These gloves have excellent padding in the correct places. I have long fingers, so XL was perfect for me. I fear that the store not having a double XL will limit sales for some people however. Just be sure to try them on before you buy. When it comes to gloves, the sizing is relative.

                                The gloves have held up well so far, I've had them for about 2 months now. My only complaint is that I'm not a fan of how the gloves fit around my wrist. The gloves seem to sit extremely high on my wrist, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. I just really wished they went further down on my wrist

                                Definatly best set of gloces that I ever had! These are amazing! They have extra padding inside of them and made of heavy duty matetial. Read reviews that claimed that gloves ripped on first day, I smile because its not true. These guys should work with their bear hands for few days to learn how to handle wood that still has screws and nails in the wood. We work on remodeling project daily, and all 3 pair of heavy duty gloves are in pretty good shape. So if you are not a clumsy bear and exersize decent common scence during construction work, than this gloves shoykd last you for very long time.
