Good quality Dewalt Site Jacket ideal for use on the jobsite.

Advantages: Waterproof, Doesn't Tear..
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I was persuaded by a Dewalt salesman that their jackets were the best and i went a head and bought one. It is very comfortable and feels good when wearing. Movement is not restricted at all. It has proved to be a very good buy. I have been wearing it for six months now and it hasn't torn or scagged even though I am in a work site enviroment with nails and sharp objects around. Sometimes I work outside and it keeps me dry even in a downpour because ...

Review of Dewalt Site Jacket

Keeping my hands safe ,soft and scratch free

Advantages: protects hands
Disadvantages: none

This gardening glove is one that I have worn to protect my fair hands while working on conservation work parties and since we keep a lot of the tools and equipment in our garage I have borrowed it to use when pruning our pyracantha and other shrubs This glove is a ladies glove so a better fit for my lady hands which are smaller than a man’ hand. This glove does protect me from those fierce thorns it has a suede leather palm. This glove has a reinforced ...
...back of the glove is a breathable mesh fabric, which stops my hands getting hot and sweaty, A although the colour of a gardening glove does not really bother me this one is grey suede with a purple cuff and mesh fabric. I find these gloves quite comfortable to wear they are not over stiff like some other gardening gloves and they do protect me from scratches and thorns. I expect to be wearing them quite a bit this month as I have some pruning to ...

Review of Yeoman Light Choice Garden Gloves

Handy, but not for the fashion conscious

Advantages: Cheap, Wide availability from garden centres or online, the colours!
Disadvantages: Would snag on thorns or anything heavy duty, the colours!

These gloves were a present from a well meaning relative, probably in the hope that I might be more inclined to attend to all the weeds (and now Ragwort - thanks to my not-keen-on-gardening-neighbour) that my garden seems to encourage. I'm not a natural gardener, and certainly not one who knows all the Latin plant names, but I do enjoy watching the fruits of my labour bloom, from Springtime onwards. Gardens hold all manner of hazards though, ranging ...
...to the diseases one can catch from scooping the poop. Owning a cat and dog myself who both use my pocket sized oasis as their lavatory, and with various cats from the neighbourhood who tend to see a well maintained garden and think: 'Toilet', keeping my hands clean when I'm gardening is a must. Prior to owning these, I had some thick old padded gloves which are fine for more heavy duty work like grappling with thorny bushes, but for day to day gardening ...

Review of Town & Country Jersey Extra Grip Gloves

review of dickies safety trainers

Advantages: good looking, comfortable lightweight durable
Disadvantages: low sides meaning obviously cant submerge them in a puddle

...and from work as the dickies feel practically no different from my regular trainers. ive been working in plant rooms with an inch of water on the floor and had no leakage and ive also had a few things drop on me and felt nothing. as these are trainers afterall its not recommended that you use them for building sites as deep mud or puddles will go up and over the side but that is just common sense however if you work in domestic properties or as a ...
...safety rules plus they are comfy and dare i say it actually look quite fashionable. you can pick these up at your local screwfix store for under thirty seven pounds and mamothworkwear.com is doing them for under forty pounds with free work socks. also worth noting if your a self employed tradesman or person needing safety wear for work you can claim back tax on items such as these. i would recommend these to any one sick of tripping over there own ...

Review of Dickies Mens Super Legend Trainer

dewalt traditional site safety boots

Advantages: good grip, good padding, solid sole
Disadvantages: Expensive, very large and clumsy, where not up to the task in my case.

...line is, i was very disappointed. owning lots of dewalt tools i was expecting the same kind of quality but these boots sadly didnt live up to the name and left me feeling i could have bought a pair half the price and probably got twice as long in usage. ...
