Hey guys ChrisFix here
And this is a ChrisFix quick tool review since this ChrisFix quick tool review Series is new let me explain real quick
What the main idea is I get sent a ton of tools that I think you guys might [find] useful
But typically [tool] review videos are way too long and [boring] in my tool review
I'm going to give you a good idea of what the product does
How well it works is it worth buying and is it ChrisFix approved. I'm also going to test it in front of you
So you could see it in action and these tests aren't going to be easy for these products
I'm going to be pushing them to the limits and all these product tests are going to be completely honest [if] the products great
I'm going to let you know if it's bad
I'm going to let you know that - because I don't want you buying something that
Isn't good and as always all the tools
I review will be linked in the description of the video so [that] you could easily find it now enough Chitchat. Let's begin today
We're checking out gloves and boy. Do I hate gloves the only gloves
I like to use are these nitrile gloves because they're tight-fitting they prevent me from getting dirty
And they allow me to keep my dexterity I like to be able to feel the nuT-And-Bolt
While I'm screwing it in and thick gloves make that difficult because you can't feel anything
But sometimes you're going to need different gloves for different jobs
[I'm] not going to be welding in these nitrile gloves or cutting wood or sawing metal
I'm going to have to use a specialized glove for that type of stuff. So let's check out what we got here today
I'm going to be showing you iron clad gloves
These gloves are designed in the United States
but made in indonesia an Iron-clad has gloves for
Everything they have gloves for vibration and impact they have gloves for cold weather. They have these leather gloves. They have touch screen gloves
They have mechanics gloves
They have heat gloves that are good for welding and holding hot items they have other mechanics gloves
And this is just the start of it if you have a specific. Task in mind. There's probably a glove for you
They even have box handling gloves specifically made if you work with cardboard boxes all day now all these gloves are different
But I'm going to give you some of the common features found on most of these gloves
First off all the gloves have a grip right on the wrist and this helps you get it on and off now
I thought this grip was just a gimmick
Until I actually started using it and it makes putting these gloves on really easy all these gloves come with a one-Year warranty
And they're machine washable, but you have to air dry them which stinks because that takes ever. It'd be awesome
If you [could] just throw these into the dryer
But you can't so those are the features of the gloves let's start the fun testing today
I'm going to be testing out four different pairs of their gloves in front of you
testing them to the extreme the
First pair of gloves are the touchscreen gloves so what better way to test these out then use a phone?
You can see it swipes from side to side pretty easily
Let's go try going on the internet and typing something in
It's not that bad to type with these gloves
The gloves have a little point at the end of the finger which help with typing but it does take a little getting used to
And look at that you [can] get to my channel on YouTube. Which is good if you need to look up a video for reference
So if you need to use a tablet or a cell phone at work a lot
and you're using gloves these would be a pretty good fit or if you're one of those [people] who are always on the phone at
work
Get back to work! alright alright. Now the next gloves are the heat resistant gloves
Normally when you want something heat resistant you'd use these type of gloves these are my welding gloves
They're really thick you lose all dexterity
But these are supposed to do the same thing and we're going to test it with this 1,100 degree Fahrenheit heat gun
So let's first get a baseline and see how long I could keep my hand in front of this
1,100 degree heat without any gloves on that was like 2.3 seconds, and man that was hot
Now how about one of these welding gloves?
Okay before I catch fire in my gloves
[I] did not feel that he at all and I could have kept going [the] limiting factor would be damaging the gloves now
Let's test the heat works Glove
boom
So at 1,100 degrees [we] got 40 seconds. Which is double the heat rating for this glove
So that's not bad now these gloves are not supposed to be used by an open flame [which] is disappointing
But I'm going to test to see what happens if you run the glove over a flame by accident
Just in case this does catch fire. I have a bucket of ice-cold water [which] will [also] be using in the next test
Again these gloves are not meant to be used on an open flame
I'm testing them on an open flame because when there's 600 degree Fahrenheit heat [odds] are there's going to be a flame nearby I'm
Finally starting to feel the heat, but they aren't [catching] [fire] which is good so it's unfortunate that they're not fire resistant
But if by chance you do run your hand across an open flame. You should be somewhat protected now
Let's go do one last test and see if these gloves are good for welding
Typically when you're welding you're using these thick gloves
and it makes it hard to pick up metal and
Move metal around now you have a lot more dexterity with these gloves
And it makes moving around these pieces of metal a little bit easier the tips of the gloves
Still are pretty thick but I could easily move around pick up the pieces of metal
It's easier to hold the trigger on my welder. I'm going to put a welding mask over my camera
And that worked way better than I expected
I didn't think it was going to work that well, so when you're welding you're holding the pieces of metal right here, and
Right there. There's all [that] heat protection. Which is great for welding because that's where all the heats going
[it's] going right into the side here
I'm actually really excited [to] try these out on project night light real it where I weld together a front off-Road bumper for my truck
So heat gloves pass. I like these these are cool now
We're trying out the tundra gloves and you talk about losing dexterity these things are
Thick and the idea these they're supposed to be for cold weather. They have a little bit of reflective stripping here
Maybe if you're using your snow blower, or you're shoveling snow or you work outside in the snow. They're waterproof
They're supposed to keep your hands warm
And we're going to put that to the test right now all right [to] test the Tundra gloves
[I] got some ice water right here. We're testing to make sure it's waterproof
We're also going to be testing to see how long you could keep your hand in this water compared to just a regular glove let's
Go, [oh] man. I could feel it already and this nitrile glove is cold
[I] honestly don't feel anything [like] not even a little bit [of] cold in the Tundra Glove
I don't know how much longer I can keep my hand in this ice water whoo that is cold
Okay, that's it for that now this tundra. Glove. I mean this thing is waterproof. [I] literally don't feel the cold at all
This is awesome. [there's] no point of me even keeping my hand in here
See how long keep it in here [because] I don't feel cold at all. This is a cool glove
So there you go the Tundra Glove
Now if only they made these up to like elbow length, so I got to get my gopro from out under here. Oh, that's cold
All right, and the final pair of gloves. We'll be testing are these impact resistant and vibration resistant gloves
They have this padding on here. It supposed to absorb impact and prevent your hands from [getting] all tingly from vibration
Let's go give it a try
Now right away. I could tell you using these gloves and feeling the vibrations in this thing
They should put some [of] this padding right up in here when you grab onto something sure you're grabbing onto something with your palm
You're also grabbing on between your thumb and your pointer finger, but there's nothing right over here
So they really got to consider putting something over here, so that when you're pressing down you don't feel that vibration otherwise these pads
right here
Do a great job of reducing that vibration so let me finish cutting all this wood and I'll let you know what I think
All right after all that cutting you could definitely feel vibration, but over where it's padded the vibration is reduced significantly
[but] over here. There's no padding. So there's still some vibration now
We got one more test with these gloves the last test is hammering away, not only are these supposed to help you with vibrations
But they're supposed to help you with impacts, and there's no bigger impact and with a nice [four] pound hammer
Now there we go we put these things to the test
I smashed out that rotor and these gloves are great for when you're [working] with a hammer
Normally when you're working with [a] hammer and you're hitting stuff
That vibration that jolt goes right into your hand, but with these gloves it definitely helps a little bit. They're not miracle gloves
You can still feel [a] vibration, but if you're doing this all day
[I] could see how these gloves would help you with your hand fatigue
So let's conclude my product review on the [ironclad] gloves all right, so those are all the tests
I'm going to do you saw the results first hand
I've also been testing these gloves for a couple of months now, and these are the ones that I'd go with as a
Do-it-yourselfer or home mechanic because they have some protection up here. They're pretty dexterous
You can move them around they have good grip and some padding here
And [there] just overall a nice glove, and this is what I've [been] using and testing they've been holding out
Well that being said let's talk about the negatives
I have with these gloves well the seam right at the tip of the fingers is pretty thick and feels vague
It makes working with small tools nuts and bolts difficult the other negative
I have is price these gloves are about two to three times what you would pay for a regular glove
now that brings me to the positives the quality of these gloves is great you get what you pay for as they say and the
Features on the gloves are way better than the features on other gloves that you find on [the] market [like] I said
I don't like using gloves, but you have to use gloves for some things your hands are an important tool
So protect them and that being said these gloves are ChrisFix approved
I would recommend these to a friend you're going to see in my videos
I'll be using these I'm sure that's as much proof as you could get if I'm using a tool
You know it's good
So if you're in the market for gloves hopefully my testing and honest review [help] you out remember to give this video a thumbs up
