I have not but I think they would hold up well. They are heavy-duty gloves.

Yes I have used this glove with my mandolin. It works great & I'm sorry I didn't have it when I first used my mandolin and almost cut off the top of my thumb. My thumb healed and I will never use my mandolin without the glove again.

Works with a mandolin. It gave my wife enough confidence to actually use the mandolin. Saved a lot in bandages over the years.

As you can see from the pictures the glove material is medium thickness, with some compression. They offer some warmth and I believe would protect skin from accidentally bumping your hand lightly which might otherwise abrade your skin. No protection from heavy contact, the kind which would cause bruise. Definitely worth trying.

I believe it should work, I have not tried on a mandolin, however I would think it would work on most string instruments

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

Not a chance! The pair I had would not even keep my fingers warm when shoveling snow in the driveway. The dollar store gloves I had did a better job! Of course, this is based on a single pair that may or may not have been defective / poorly made.

They should prove to be OK with those items, so long as they are not too small in size. The fingertips have a better feel than most gloves with this quality of warmth do. The index fingers on the gloves have a small patch of leather-ish fabric that may or may not serve a purpose, depending on use. I have used them in EMS (ambulance patient care) and have had no problems with tearing surgical tape, attaching straps and patient securing gear, and operated other medical devices with them on. Obviously, they are going to pose a barrier problem of some sorts, but overall, I think they are better than most (of similar quality) in fingertip feel and comfort. Hope that helps!

The V blade tends to bind up, which forces you to apply more pressure that results in injury. Japanese mandolin is the way to go.

Yes it is. Several months in, I have no complaints, and I used them almost daily on a mandolin.

I've only tried these gloves.... They are amazing!! They work fantastic and wash up well in the machine. They must be dry when using though, since dampness will conduct the heat.

I use when use a mandolin slicer, they won't protect you from jab with sharp knife but normal kitchen duties they will protect your hand

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

Absolutely not! This is one reason I have to have this kind of glove when doing yard work. They are perfect.

I've never tired using the gloves with Chemicals, but I've found by reading on line, that some have experenced melting of the glove when using varnish, and other chemicals. So don't think I'd try using them for anything beyond domistic soap and water cleaning.

i would say no. i use these gloves in my wood burning stove to move burning logs and the work great!

If your working with sharp hand tools such as knives there are areas on the gloves that are resistant (more padded) while other areas are thinner and a knife would surely cut through. Hope this makes sense.

I have not, per se, but I have been using them for shooting and the are great! Good feel and I've had the glove caught in the action a couple times w/o a mark on the material. Don't know if this helps...

No, I have not used these gloves working with cacti, but I think the gloves are too thin to use working with cacti.
