I wear a woman's small glove. Is the spread on the handles too wide for me to use? (this is Ralph's wife)

My hands are medium to small. The pruners work good for me. If my hands were any smaller more effort would be needed for me to cut. I love the pruners though and would rather work with them then use the old time pruners I have always purchased.

Worst pruner I have every had. I am back to using a pair I purchased 20 years ago that work MUCH better.

I don't think it's too wide. I absolutely love these, but I do have big hands.

I'm not very scientific on this. I just buy the largest glove I can get. If it is too large I can set it on the dash in the sun for an hour and shrink it.

I agree with Hoboking. 108" is not long enough for a man's hand. I had to give mine to a kid after my knuckles got torn up while using them.

My hands are a size 7 . Also you should wear wraps for support which will take up some space.

I have very large hands (wear XXL gloves and even those tend to be a bit small). My hand fits reasonably well on the grip, but the second knuckle of my index finger does sometimes rub against the guard. I definitely will wear gloves when using this machete, to reduce the discomfort.

Well, my hand fits (even though I bought this for my wife). Its snug, but I think its supposed to be.

I can pick it up without protection unless whatever is in it has gotten dry and burnt. Then it might be too hot to grab. I don't have arthritis, so I don't know if it is "arthritis-comfortable." I do think the handle might need to be a bit fuller for a hurting hand.

I have large hands and the gloves were snug when I got them but stretched to a comfortable fit, so you may try them and see if they snug. Since they are on Amazon Prime, it is no trouble to return them, but I don't think you will. Get the 23 inch size as it provides protection up to the elbow which no other glove has done before and it was needed. I have used them for yard work and moving concrete blocks and patio stones and I rate these 5 Stars for endurance and protection.

I think you answered your own question...I bought this set for a wedding gift, as it was on the bride's list. She is a young person, who may have liked the aesthetics of the pattern, but I personally like a wider or graduated and more "flat" handle. So you probably need to choose another pattern that suits your needs.

I don't have a glove for it. I also don't use it at 400 degrees. That's too hot for my hair. I'm usually at 300 and the handle is just fine. Hope that helps!

I have rather small hands and it fits fine. Because of the knit/mesh material it stretches to fit my hands or my husband's hands which are larger.

You may have purchased to small of a size. My hands feel great while I'm wearing the gloves and after I remove them.

Not sure how much I can help. but will try. I no longer have the gloves or I would measure mine for you. First of all, I ordered the Small. I am a female w/medium sized hands and small wrists [6 "]. The wrist strap was elastic and stretched considerably. It fit. However, the gloves were huge. I'm guess you might get a better fit if you ordered by hand size.

I have small hands and they are a little large on me. Maybe a women's medium? The back is knit though so it would stretch a bit.

I have womens small/medium hand. They fit fine. Not snug but not too loose.

I have large, thick hands, but the gloves stretch quite a bit. I believe they will also shrink up if you put them in the dryer for a while. They should work fine for someone with small hands.

I don't think you can unless you use a larger glove if your gloves already fit snug.
