Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101.
I'm Bob and today we're talking Ironclad.
I have these amazing gloves. These are Tundra.
These are made for the winter: ice, cold and freezing water. They have protection and i'm going to show you.
Before we begin, please share, like and subscribe to my videos and hit the bell for new content.
So let's get started.
So I have here a bucket of ice, with water in it. So we're about 32 degrees plus or minus.
I have these Tundra Ironclad gloves. Really cool i'm going to read off the card here.
These are Armour-Flex outer-shell,
They are
waterproof. Waterproof Inserts. So the full glove all the way up, and i'm going to demonstrate that, that they are fully water-proof.
(They) Have TPR knuckle protection so you can see that it has protection here and i'll demonstrate that.
And it has reflective strips on here. It also has Kevlar reinforcement. So basically Velcro
Great for working. I'm going to slide these on.
I couldn't stick my hand in the bucket and leave it in there. We're going to test if these are waterproof now.
I'm just going to put one on. I'm just gonna pull it closed here.
So it's a nice length. It's pretty long.
It passed your wrist so if you're wearing a jacket it tucks under.
And it's a nice fit.
You have a nice pull strap here to pull them up when you are working.
As we know on job sites, it's very hard to put them on.
But also there''s some really nice Kevlar protection here on the forefinger and thumb area.
Which is really great and protection, so if you're to hit your knuckles,
it doesn't go through and hurt your knuckles so its protection. Is it 100%?
No, but if you hit it on a 2 x 6, 2 x 8 or a 2 x 10, it's pretty comfortable.
So, no damage to my knuckles. I'm going to submerge my hand in this now and we'll just hold it there and see what happens.
So i'm right here. I'm not gonna go below this area because I feel that that would be like going too far.
So so far i'm not feeling any water. My hand is in there.
So I guess let's time for about 5 minutes or so and i'll give you my answer.
So i've been in here almost five minutes now, my hand. I've moved it around.
So far, no water has seeped into my glove and what i feel is coolness,
but then again i'm not working so my hands are not sweating or anything like that on a job site.
So I will say to you, this is about 32 degree water right now with the ice in it.
This glove is rated to go down to zero degrees. It also meets
in, i'm sorry, EN 388 category two, which is basically an intermediate glove.
What's really nice about these two is that you can machine wash them and hang dry.
That's an awesome requirement for me when I used to do construction. That was very important.
Also you should know that these are USA made.
That's really nice too. So these are really cool gloves.
I'm gonna take my hand out now, okay, it's been in there a little bit over five minutes.
I would tell you work-ability as far as the flexibility with the glove, it's a little stiff now.
So probably after you use it for a while, it'll get a little softer and more workable.
If you're working in cold conditions, you're up north, you're in Maine, you're in...
you know where it's really, really, really cold,
these are key gloves to have. They're going to protect your hands you're not going to get hurt.
It's a must have. Check us out on our website. Thanks for watching.
