Use a Big-Ass Band to open a stuck lid on a jar of pickles with ease.

Perfect for creative minds in need of big bands. These work great so you can start strapping just about anything! We suggest you keep a bag of these around for those moments when you suddenly think, “I wish I had a big-ass band!”

Our Big-Ass Bands were an accidental development. We use writing notebooks and one of the things we hate about them is the way the cheap elastic bands stretch out and don’t do their job after a while.

What exactly is elegant and cool about wrapping your book with a thin slice of elastic? So we set out to use something different with our Dootle Folios. We tried bungee cord (too fat). We tried rubber strips and twine (really clumsy), then we found some big red rubber bands in the hardware store and they worked pretty well. The rubber bands were a bit thin and mighty ugly (dull red), so we decided to make some with silicone, similar to ubiquitous wristbands, only bigger and more stretchy.

They’re great for writing notebooks, MacBooks, laptops, drawing pads, files and folders, head bands, clothes, towels around hair, containers, bundles of whatever, trash bins, Decks and Chiton Sleeves (partial to our own products!), woodworking, screws and parts and things, temporary car repairs (a little vague but interesting), slingshots, load straps, book titles on covered textbooks, cooking…roast wraps, chicken wraps, pot locks…and some stuff around labs and medical labs and car repair shops and floral shops…so let’s say for just about anything in just about any place.

Garden Products Direct: Premium Goatskin Leather Gardening/Rose Pruning Gloves #Review #GardenProductsDirect http://wp.me/p2B5Rd-1PC

(Please click above link to view entire article. Thank you!)

Having a large amount of rose bushes is wonderful and the blooms in Southern California are well enjoyed into December and even sometimes beyond, if the temperatures remain warmer. The one thing that always makes a task easier, is having the right tools to perform it. I have used many garden gloves and one thing many gloves do not provide, is enough support and protection where a thorn from a stem could penetrate. I end up getting stabbed and poked with even gloves on the first use. I have used all materials from the self-curing rubbers, to nylons that have extra thread support. Most I end up using for digging and planting when they fail against even protecting me when I trim the dwarf citrus trees. If they can’t protect me against those thin thorns, my roses are better trimmed bare handed than having to deal with ill forming gloves.

I was sent a pair of rose pruning garden gloves from Garden Products Direct. These are different to those I have found in the “big box stores”, which tends to think ladies just plant pansies and daisies, so we need zero protection from those thorn-less varieties. Most gloves in stores are thin with beautiful designs and colors, however they really just may keep your hands and nails clean when a manicure is not the only thing I am trying to save. I’m looking for overall protection and finally found a pair that may just be up for the tasks I complete. The premium gloves from Garden Products Direct have:

Heavy-Duty but still remain soft so you can bend digits and be able to grasp everything from thorny stalks to soft blooms you want to save to create a vase arrangement.
Made with 100% goat grain leather and extra long sleeves, which are made from cowhide. This sleeve/cuff provides extra protection when having to trim between branches.
The gloves are designed for working hands, so they remain smaller along the fingers and wrist, but still provide enough dexterity to be able to grasp tools from shovels to clippers.
The glove’s material also produces lanolin, which keeps hands hydrated and soft when worn and used.
Retail Price Point: $23.99 and that is the same price point for sizes small through large via Amazon. The gloves are Unisex and I found the size small fit my hands and arms perfectly. Due to having short and smaller arms, the glove is loose and longer (goes past my elbow), but I can easily fold the cuff at the end to provide a form fitting that is customized to my size.

Verdict:

The gloves being made from natural leathers/hides will have a odor but nothing out of the norm, and I pretty much associate it with the scents you get from leather-goods, like from wallets, purses, and jackets made of such materials. This is to be expected and it’s not a chemical laden scent, so that was welcoming and was easy to air out by leaving them out overnight in the garage. I ordered a size small because my biggest gripe with gloves has been fit. The fingers are always too long and wide with my former gloves and this ends up frustrating me when I am trying to grasp because I lose that “real feel” when it comes to gardening. I end up over manipulating plants when planting because I lose dexterity when fabrics remain stiff but too thin to even prevent dirt granules from entering and soiling both the inside of my glove and hands. The gloves from Garden Products Direct fit perfectly and allowed my fingers to bend with ease while sti………….
