Chilean inventor creates hammer and saw-proof work gloves
Chilean inventor Jorge Sgombic has created Mark VIII safety gloves, which are hammer and saw-proof. The gloves are made of a shatter-proof thermoplastic material to shield the fingertips against hammer blows, all sorts of cuts, punctures and crushing. The Mark VIII gloves won a gold medal at the Invention and New Product Exposition in the 'Safety and Security-Personal' category.
