Make Hand Protection a Top Priority When Tackling Spring Projects
VALENCIA, Calif. (April 2, 2007) – As April showers turn into May flowers, do-it-yourselfers are ready to dig into tough spring projects, but injuries to one of the most important tools used for any project – your hands - which can lead to unwanted delays, not to mention a painful experience. Mechanix Wear®, the first company to create high-performance work gloves, is offering solutions to improve performance and help prevent unnecessary cuts, scrapes, blisters, punctures and other serious hand injuries.

From mowing the lawn and raking leaves to going under the hood to replace spark plugs, the Mechanix Wear Utility Glove has unlimited household and shop uses. The two-way form-fitting stretch Spandex top optimizes fit, comfort and ventilation while the Lycra panels between fingers allow for extra ventilation and added dexterity.
