Electrical Insulated Lineman Rubber Gloves Electrician High Voltage Hand Shape Waterproof Safety Protective Work Gloves 12KV Insulating for Man Woman

Do they stink? My god yes. Terrible. I keep mine in an outdoor shed and they still stink after 9 months. But do they work? Yes. I use them when doing any live 240 volt work in a breaker panel, AC circuits, and my whole-house generator wiring.The material is thick and rugged, yet fairly flexible. If you can deal with the stink these are an inexpensive way to keep from getting killed.

Another cosplay item... perfectly designed for protection. However depending on how large ones hands may be... this product could be annoying. If you n3ed more precision with your fingers/grip you may want a different item

Served their purpose. As a woman they are enormous on me, and they're very thick/stiff, so all I could really do was grip things and push on stuff - it was a challenge to wire a new circuit and need to be maneuvering a wire around a bunch of other wires in the panel and into small holes, but I managed to complete the work safely.I deducted one star because my gloves arrived smelling strongly of a campfire. I've recently read about how some of the chemicals used in the rubber manufacturing process in China that have this smell can be potentially hazardous to your health. I left mine outside to off-gas for 2-3 days which wasn't nearly enough time. It's been over a week now and I can smell them any time I walk by within 5 feet of the tool chest they're in. I'm thinking of putting them back outside for a few weeks and then keeping them in a sealed bag if they still stink after that.

I had to replace the capacitor in my microwave and the high voltage in it scared me to touch it although the microwave was off and disconnected from power. I shorted the capacitor but stil used these gloves to unscrew it just in case. I replace the capacitor and the microwave now works.These provided the gurantee that I would not be shocked incase there was an issue with the old capacitor discharging

The set I received (Feb 2020) is fine. They have some rubber smell, but nothing horrible. I suspect the awful smell reported by others is from a batch that was very fresh from the factory. They are also plenty usable. I have average size adult male hands, and they fit well. They are fairly stiff and would be inappropriate for any fine work, but they are flexible enough to hold basic tools, such as needle-nose pliers or a short length of household wiring. My only concern is to warm them to room temperature when used indoors; reviewers' reports of odor led me to store the gloves outside, and as it's now winter, the gloves gathered some moisture from condensation when I took them inside, potentially creating a shock hazard. However, they dried fairly quickly.

These work well to protect you from high voltage electricity. However, unlike the lineman rubber gloves I have used in the past, these use thickness rather than high dielectric material layers to provide safety. Working in these gloves is unpleasant and difficult as you can barely move your fingers. If you only need to use these once, they are OK. But for long-term use, forget it.

Works well when needing to work with live wires. Nice and safe no I didn't get shocked.

I’ve done a couple live 110v light switch changes with these now and I haven’t died yet, so there’s that. I have large hands and these fit just about right for me. Only issue I would say is the fingers bend a little difficult due to the thickness of the gloves but I suppose that’s the trade off for working in a risky manner where you need to wear these. I just wish they could bend a little easier though. I still was able to grip wires as long as I put enough effort into squeezing.
