Are these gloves sturdy enough for stairwell banisters and fretwork?

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!

These gloves should be fine. They fit snug so they do not move when doing Zumba or any other aerobic activity. The weighted part of the gloves is on top of the hands so you can still do push ups, hold other weights, etc. I am very happy with the gloves and I use them for walking/step workouts regularly.

No, thier pretty sturdy. I've used them when I worked and bought them for my personal use.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

I wouldn't recommend these gloves for muay Thai. These are more for entry level heavy bag boxing training

They'd probably keep you safe, but I wouldn't use them for this purpose. These are knit from special materials and you'll get them extremely dirty in short order. You'd be better off with "welder" gloves. Better yet, you need some kind of fireplace claw, handihand, or the like for this kind of duty.

I use mine for kettle bell workout and have not seen any wear or tear! I also use them for rough metal barbells with no damage done to them. These gloves are great! I have now ordered two pairs for friends!

I would think so. They are pretty lite. I have arthritic hands and I can manage them.

I think they should be ok. The rubber on the outside will allow a good grip and they are not heavy.

They are not very expensive gloves, so I'd say they grip good considering what you are paying. I have only used them for and handles on bands with handles.

Yes, the gloves are designed to protect your hands from cuts. They work well for my husband.

Yes. They are very decent for training and hitting the bags, even sparring. They just hurt my fingers when worn with MMA gloves.

I can't advise you on this matter, however I tend to believe they may be suitable. Please follow the reccomended heat advised by the manufacturer. The fit of the glove should be coverage against splatter or spill, in most cases. I feel fairly confident in personally using these for the use you describe.

I don't think so. The back of the gloves are not waterproof. They are a stretchy material. And I don't think the rubberized side is tough enough to deflect needles, broken glass, or other things you might encounter in a trash pick up. These are great gardening gloves, but I think you need something more industrial.

They are pretty sturdy, not too thick and not too thin. They are not welded, they have rivets. Hope this helps!

yes, and i have big hands. remember they are not powdered. powdered gloves would be easier
