Hit 5000 hours on the same set of heat-resistant gloves today

They're a generic brand from the supply catalog, and I honestly thought they'd be toast after a year. Anyone else get way more life out of a piece of gear than you expected?

Feel that, some of the cheapest stuff just refuses to die. I had a generic steel toe from the same kind of catalog that lasted through three different plants, the sole was completely smooth and it still passed inspection. @nora_scott86 is right to ask though, because sometimes the job itself is the real test. My old heat gloves finally gave out when a spill melted the cuff, but the palms were still weirdly solid. It's like they build them to fail in the dumbest way possible lol.

What's the actual job you're doing with them?

The actual job is a total nightmare sometimes.
