I've used them, they're alright for keeping your hands clean and have some abrasion and heat resistance. You won't want to do any welding or torch use while wearing them, as they are not fire resistant. In fact, they'll melt on you! Real leather gloves are much better.

Thanks Longbox, the description on their website says the fabricators gloves are leather. Supposed to be heat tollerant too it says. I agree the regular mesh ones would have issues with heat.

If you want some nice fabricator gloves look for TIG/Heli-arc service thin enough to feel and yet stout enough for light welding work.
