Is it normal for the black to rub off all over your hands? If so, how long will this last?

No. The black has never rubbed off of my Leatherman. Definitely NOT normal.

I did not have that problem. Try a coat of quality gun oil and wipe it dry see if that helps.

No, it does not wear off as it is impregnated into the metal. My husband has not had that problem with it. It is holding up very well.

Not normal at all, and nothing I have ever experienced. Not sure how they color process this particular tool, but the black color doesn't come off easily.

i find mine lasts a long time. i have never bought it from amazon, but i do buy from an african store in my city. it comes in different colors, sometimes dark like this or sometimes more beigey mixed with dark, but it all lasts the same for me. i buy a chunk and pinch off a small piece. that small piece can do my entire body including my face. i still have a fairly large chunk left over from 4 months ago. you can put it in a container in the shower. i keep mine outside of the shower and just take in the piece that i

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

I agree, the black residue is hard to get off. I've had best luck rubbing with a microfiber cloth just as the product is drying, about 30 seconds after the start of buffing. I then spray a little mothers aluminum wheel polish and wipe, it seems to have the same chemical base, gets a lot more black off but it seems to spot a little. Hope this helps.

well, kind of. it's not like it has no effect whatsoever. i just put it in, with no gel or hairspray over it, so it doesn't really feel weird, just a little silky. but if u don't put product over it, it will rub off, albeit a little at a time, over the course of the evening, and certainly on your pillow. i don't care about that, i detest gels and hairsprays, so i just let it sort of evaporate as i wear it over the night. never had it stain my clothing or skin, i just wear dark colors and have never noticed a problem. hope that helps.

I find a few of those every time I use it. Mostly on my hands. Not enough for it to be a problem, though. I'm not sure what causes it.

It lasts about one month on your toes and about two weeks on your hands depending on how hard you are on your hands. I have a 2 year old so constantly washing hands etc so it lasts about a week and a half on me.

Just got a new one. It seems just a bit but I have a wicked sense of smell. I am sure it'll be mostly gone in a month. Doesn't make my hand smell after hours of use. I hope that helps.

No, that is not normal. It should be white, and it has a thicker consistency than hand lotion or conditioner. Definitely return it. Im sorry you got a bad batch!

Never! Use as directed. Haven't ever experienced "rub off" on clothes, bedding, etc. Great product.

Basically, instantly... apply a thin coat, spreading evenly and rubbing in good. Careful around joints, like knee's and ankles. Let dry while washing hands well with a pedi or facial scrub so hands don't stain, then repeat in 15 minutes. Great product, have been using it for years. Don't apply too much at once, to avoid an unaturual color. Apply another coat the next day or two for a good color. I basically only use this on my legs. Good Luck!

I apply it all over. It depends on how dark your skin is naturally on whether or not it will be noticeable. It would be noticeable on me if I stopped and left my whole hand without any. I have found another product that I like even better, so I am just using this on my legs now.

NO, they do not turn your hands black at all. I love the padding in the palms. It is really good.

Ultra dark is the darkest for me. After one application you will achieve a nice tan base color. I use it 4 days in a row to achieve a dark tan and after that only once-twice a week for maintenance. I suggest using the lotion before bed ( it will stain sheets a bit). Your palms will stain a bit but if you wash your hands with soap right away followed by any whitening toothpaste it will take all the color off your hands.

I think Nitrobud got it right, but Jo Ann isn't wrong. You put it on only when you need to protect yourself, and usually that means when you are done you are washing your hands. But really the stuff won't hurt you and you can leave it on for hours. After 3 or 4 hours what kind of person are you if you haven't washed your hands for some reason? Just kidding.

They recommend a Clorox powder type cleanser. I have used it once since I own them. My wife got the stuff mixed with bleach and it makes my hands stink like bleach so I don't like using it. Anyhow. I typically use water and just wash them and you can see the metal wash away. Frequency? Well not very often. I guess this would depend on the amount of sharpening. When you see them turning from white to gray maybe its time, if the grey becomes black its definitely time.
