When it comes to hand protection, your home is a lot like your work environment, only more hazardous to you hands' health. Don't believe it? Think about the hand tools you use: hammers, chisels, screwdrivers, wrenches, shovels, spades, trowels, rakes, hoes, cultivators, lawn mowers, weed whackers. Then think about what your hands do around the home and garden: hammering, drilling, sawing, soldering, scraping, digging, spraying, sanding, stirring, snipping, gluing, pruning, puttying, planting, and painting -- to name but a few. Amazing, isn't it? Whatever the task, it pays to keep a variety of home work gloves close at hand.
