They are made with out finger tips on a few of the fingers. That’s an issue I have with gloves is you lose that dexterity. http://www.amazon.com/IRWIN-Tools-Carpenter-Gloves-432003/dp/B0000EI9BA/ref=sr_1_34?m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&ie=UTF8&qid=1435599629&sr=8-34&keywords=irwin
Maybe its just me but I have the hardest time with screws and nails using gloves. It’s like I get stupid fingers once I put on gloves.
I have a pair of gorilla gloves that I got from HD they fit real snug and there pretty thin I use those for light duty and for bigger projects I use my mechanix gloves which I kinda have a hard time grabbibing bolts and screws.
Those gloves look decent, I’d prefer them all to be fingerless.
The only gloves I like to wear when working with hardware (automotive work) are the Diamond Grip by Microflex. The only way I’d ever wear full on gloves when using screws and nails if it was so cold outside that my hands were frozen.
Those gloves look pretty awesome actually.
They may be trying to appease smart phone and tablet users. You know how hard it is to answer a touch screen phone with certain gloves on?
I though some companies were putting finger tips that worked with touchscreens on them. I think the new Milwaukee work gloves have it.
Much easier to handle screws and nails with fingerless gloves.

Yeah there’s tons of them now with capacitive threads in the tips. The Wells Lamont 7649L and the Mechanix “The Original Touch” are both pretty popular work gloves that have capacitive finger tips. I personally prefer the Mechanix if I were to choose a pair to wear. The Wells Lamont are a tad too bulky in the finger tip area to get a good grip on screws.
I prefer not wearing gloves when it’s possible, though.

I’m sure they do. I know I’ve seen winter gloves that are touch screen friendly.
My only issue is the size of the keyboard compared to the glove fingers. I know some people with fat fingers struggle hitting keys on a touch screen enough as it is.
We used to call them framers gloves. I started to use gloves more when they started to use OSB my hand are like a splinter magnet. I just cut the tips out of my own gloves
nails, screws, nose picking….. actually seen these for $19 not bad price for Canada…..
