I want to use it for opening oysters, sea urchins etc. - do you think it gives enough protection for that? Have you tried it with such stuff?

I have not used them for such, however I have found very useful in protecting my finger when using the mandolin slicer and don't see any reason for them not to be very helpful. Good luck

Doubtful. This are light weight, and more for protecting against accidental grazes with a blade. I used to work in a seafood restaurant, and the shuckers there used cloths, folded over for thickness. The blade on an oyster shucker is reletively dull, and you want something that can protect against a blunt point, pushed with a fair amount of force, vs. these, which protect against sharp blades with relatively light force. Hope that helps.

I'm sure they would be adequate for that. I have not used them while holding a sharp knife and shucking oysters is not the same as using a super sharp mandolin. Besides that, they are advertised as "cut & slash resistant" and not cut proof. Good luck

I would say they would be a great asset to shucking clams/oysters but after reading the following review ... use caution. they are not a guarantee. "1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid these gloves December 26, 2011 By Berry Book Pro Size Name:Large First, I've been a carver for 50 years and using safety gloves for the last 15 years. I can't say enough about how important it is to use at least one glove on the hand holding your work. These gloves, however, are one step above useless, and because they were a gift, I have to say that it was the thought that counts--and not much more! No safety glove is puncture proof, and they all say that. However, I had used these BladeX5 gloves for about an hour and cut myself on the tip of my index finger. This was NOT a puncture wound. The blade of my detail knife cut a nice HOLE across the tip and, of course, my finger bled nicely as a result. The previous glove I used has lasted for ten years and I've never had a real cut! So, find some other brand to try before resorting to these. Better to donate blood to the Red Cross."

I haven't, but since it protects against sharp knives, I should think it would do the trick.

It is used to rake through the muck, mud or sand in search of clams. The rake fingers penetrate the surface and the basket collects the clams. It is a very well built and inexpensive quality clam rake.

I'm not sure this would be the cart for you for scuba gear. While we do tend to almost overload our cart with beach stuff it still manages to work across the sand but I wouldn't recommend it for the gear you are talking about.

It can be good to protect your luggage from scrapes and dings. I found it really handy when I moved to a new house. You just want to make sure you have a good layering around things.

I have not tried opening a coconut with it, but I am pretty sure it would work well for that. The cleaver has a pretty sharp edge and has a substantial weight to it.

Thank you for your inquiry.Yes. It would work for that opening. We confirmed with the manufacturer.Kind Regards!

Yes it does a good job for me. I open jumbo sized cans quite often for special recipes that require quantities of certain canned vegetables. The best help to get the larger cans opened smoothly are the excellent grip you can get on the stainless steel handles. Go for it it works.

WD40 as relatively fine multi-purpose solution and should work well if the knife is need of lubricant. However since the knives are pre-lubricated your's should be fairly easy to open using your thumb and index finger. If your knife is has trouble opening smoothly(even after the application of lubricants) I would recommend asking for a refund.

I have used them for clam shell . But, I just cut along my item to open the package. The plastic will pull apart.

Thank you to those who have commented. I was thinking of using this to protect my berry plants from hungry birds. Does anyone think this would be a good (or bad) idea?

Yes it works well on oysters. That's exactly why I bought. You can also wash it in the dishwasher.

It seems pretty durable to me. Although I do carry it in a bookbag with a laptop sleeve as well, so it's pretty well protected. As long as you aren't using it as a weapon or a hammer, it should work pretty well for you.

Oh Yes, I completely understand that setup! This should work great. I use it for jewelry and it keeps everything dry that I seal behind it!

I bought a pair of these gloves specifically for picking food up off the grill. I steam a lot of oysters and you have to pick em up - shuck em while they are HOT. I've also used them to rotate sausages while grillin. They work great for me!!!!

It is used for clamming. It is able to dig into the sand to allow the clams to be caught in the rack.

I am new at this too, so don´t worry...Its perfect for that, I bought the ¨Everlast Double End Striking Bag¨ and its perfect for avoiding drilling the floor, i filled it with water and works great, you can also try sand. Hope the information helps, enjoy and stay active!
