Im sick of getting new gloves every couple of months.....I've tried 3 different types and I always end up with holes in the fingers. Does anyone recommend a heavy duty glove that will last?

I got tired of wearing out gloves so now I typically don't use them at all when I'm handling wood . . . occasionally I'll get some splinters, pitch on my hands and calluses . . . but no real serious problems. I will use hearth gloves however for loading the stove . . . most of the time.

Not really . . . I have a pretty sedentary job at work . . . although come to think of it my wife is always complaining about my rough hands and feet . . . she even bought me this sandpaper like thing that she expects me to use on my callused feet . . . even suggested I take a palm sander to them . . . but as for the hands, not really that tough . . . more like I'm just too cheap and tired of having gloves wear out on me.
