I'm thinking of taking up juggling with chainsaws. Would these offer sufficient protection?

Only if tha chainsaws are completely off these are best suited for gardening & heavy yard work but after using them sign off on them as protective wear for chainsaw juggling (but only if they are off & buy a couple extra[just incase])

These are ANSI Level 4 cut proof, zero puncture-proof. Best to practice with chain removed. Cheers!

Sufficient protection from what? Blade contact with a chainsaw -- No. I would recommend either no gloves or leather gloves. It's usually a bad idea to use gloves with any power equipment.

Absolutely. I use these while shooting and i wear eye protection. These are very good and comfortable too.

I would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

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 believe they would be. I've taken a few falls with these on asphalt and these gloves saved my hands.

If you're able to set up a jig for stability and accuracy - I think I would give it a try. It really puts a circular saw to the test though. Safety first!

I wouldn't have blind faith that you were completely safe as they are not intended for this purpose. That being said, the multiple layers of chainsaw protection and steel toe would certainly give you a better chance than a regular rubber boot. Are you looking for a chainsaw boot in particular? Or just a rubber boot with a better chance of stopping a snake bite? If you haven't already, I'd recommend looking into the snake proof boots on the market, I don't have a need but have seen many different models that look pretty cool.

They will protect you from the heat very well, the main concern would be if they got enough flammable liquid on them. Kevlar is very easy to put out if it ever did catch on fire. As a welder I have yet to receive any arc or splatter burns thanks to these. To answer your question specifically, yes they would protect you from direct contact with flames and act as a heat shield. If your worried about flammable liquid soaking in you could always run the sleeves under a tap and wring them out which I do just to help with the summer heat.

I would think that they would protect from rabbits. I am using them to protect my trees from deer and they have worked very well. Good luck!

They are really strong but as most things will tell you and the previous reviewer can attest to they are fragile. If they're not going to be hit directly they definitely would suit your purpose. They don't FEEL fragile but if you let them even into each other they can break.

Most agree you're not prone to injury using these. I would keep your rotator cuff strong though - try some of the ex's in the book "Bulletproof Your Shoulder".

They'd probably keep you safe, but I wouldn't use them for this purpose. These are knit from special materials and you'll get them extremely dirty in short order. You'd be better off with "welder" gloves. Better yet, you need some kind of fireplace claw, handihand, or the like for this kind of duty.

I would think so. I bought them because at my age anything that even touches my forearms brings blood. I have a lot of landscaping trimming bushes etc and so far not a scratch. I have a bougenvilla that has thousands of tiny needle thorns on it-they do not protect from those. I live in the Houston TX area and they are very hot to wear in this hot & humid climate but worth it. I hope this helps

They should work just fine. I use them for a bicycle and a bunch of other things but the bars are close enough together to hold the axe and the chainsaw , depending on how wide can be hung lenthwise or from a strap. I should say I have these screwed into large wood pilings.

They r strong so if u drag them they might. U could glue fabric to protect.

Yes i think they would provide adequate hearing protection. But, the product is not the most durable, i suspect they will eventually break.
