"A major element in the design of Ironclad products is working directly with the end-user of a task-specific glove," said Fred Castro, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Ironclad.  "After climbing into the trenches and learning first-hand from mechanics as they do their job, we were able to design and build a unique glove which addresses their specific needs for increased hand safety and efficiency. We believe there is a large market for this glove, as the design meets the intense demands of mechanics where traditional work gloves often fall short." 

Key features of the glove include:

• Single-layer palm for dexterity
• Terry cloth sweat wipe built into the thumb
• Snap-free snug compression cuff
• Synthetic leather reinforcements in critical stress areas

The company will present the Ironclad Mechanic glove at three upcoming tradeshows:

• National Safety Council Expo, Orlando, FL, October 22 - 24, 2012
• SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association - automotive), Las Vegas, NV, October 30 - November 2, 2012
• STAFDA Annual Convention & Trade Show (Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association), Orlando, FL, November 4 - 6, 2012

The Ironclad Mechanic glove will be available in retail stores and through industrial distributors by January 2013.
