I have noticed some minor cracks at the joints after several months of heavy use but they have not affected the functionality of the gloves and overall they are still in very good condition.

Don't know. We have no trouble at with cutting. Works very well, very comfortable handles. Magnet lid pickup doesn't work very well.

yes. I bought them about two months ago and they're amazing. I've used them to cut weeds wooden planks and to put them to the test sheet metal and they are still Sharp. they may be a little cheaply made but I enjoy them and would recommend them to anyone. So to answer your question, yes they are very durable.

Love these gloves and they have lasted a long time! My first pair went for months until I punctured it myself with tip of steak knife. I bought a pair for my sister and mother in law and they both are still using them daily for a couple months now!

I also believe the gloves are silicone and have some heat resistant insulation inside but I can't answer your specific questions on the BPA or the max temp. I have used these to handle meats out of the smoker and the oven without issue. They clean up well but it seems the insulation is starting to break down a little after a few months of use.

I have had over 20 years experience with this product and have never had a negative thing about it. I have never heard of one breaking and I have not used or heard of the Paderno product that does what the Benriner does. I have a Paderno truffle plain which is great but I would not choose any other turner slicer than Benriner.

this is made of a very durable plastic I believe. It works wonderfully tho and cuts thru the toughest of skin and flesh. I have used mine alot!

I've had no problem using it with my mandoline. I didn't use it for years before I got the glove because of the risk of cutting myself. I've got Parkinson's Disease and my hands are not very controllable.

The grip is very good. I'm very happy with the grip and the dexterity. I've had these gloves over a year now, but I've only been through one winter. I've washed them a few times. When I do wear them, it's only for about an hour per day during my pre or post flight checks, about 15 days per month. So, my gloves get light usage. With that being said, they are in excellent condition, have held up well in storage, and I haven't had any problems. I like these gloves.

As far as I can tell it is woven just like chainmail with tiny connected rings. The woven pattern seems very strong and I have had the glove for months now and it is still like new. I don't know how the glove would hold up to a strong strike with a big butcher knife, but I know that it will protect you while chopping or slicing with a standard knife in everyday cooking at home. Hope this helps.

I used it all last winter and performed well, did not tear and my plants survived even though it was not as cold as the year before. It is a fabric material and easy to cut and wrap if need be. I used it over my plants and then placed clear heavy gauge plastic over this material. I would recommend it.

It seems relatively durable and sharp, i've hacked into plywood with it with no problems but it isn't sharp enough to cut your finger if you run it along the blade. It is NOT full tang, if you unwrap the handle you can see where the handle and blade are welded together. The sheath is garbage but with some super glue it will last.

It has been very durable for me and is not cheap like the Chinese made products. I have put ginger in it also and it worked well. I have had mine now for about a year and it has made chopping garlic a breeze.

Probably not. The glove will protect you from a long blade going across your finger or hand. It will not protect you from a sharp poke like from an ice pick or, in this case, a sharp tooth of an animal. The glove is made up of a metal mesh that cannot stop a small but strong piercing. It has protected my hand from slicing knives and blade cutters. Hope this helps!

It would work pretty well but you might want to consider a cut resistant glove if you want the best results as the guard that comes with the slicer is a nice feature to keep fingers away from the blade but not that great at holding together things that want to fall apart when slicing like cabbage. I personally recommend a glove to anyone using it as the blades are very sharp and while I haven't hurt myself bad with I did touch the blade once enough to get a slight cut.

I use these gloves when chopping food. They are excellent at stopping nicks and cuts from a blades light slicing motion but I do not think that they are designed to offer much protection from stabbing or hacking blades. I would not use these gloves with any electrical blades, routers or saws because they are fabric and could get caught in the mechanisms.

I did not find any problem using it a lot or quickly. It engages and disengages but I am in my back yard pruning medium and small branches. After I cut 3-4 long branches I pick them up and cut over a bag very quickly without any problems. I do not believe you will have a problem.
