These are made to prevent minor damage to the hands. So if you do not
want rough hands then wear a pair of general purpose gloves.
Generally the wrist and lower arms are not protected.
Water and damp can still get through.

If dealing with prickly thorns like roses etc. then you need thorn-proof
gloves. Generally these have the palms protected highly and have a heavy duty back.

Always read the label to determine the correct safety equipment

There is nothing worse than just trying to reach that bit further into
the water and whoosh your waterproof glove fills with water.

I can only speak for myself on this one. I use surgical gloves to protect

Cat and Dog litter
Ever tried to shovel cat or dog litter off the lawn, then try the method
below. Not for the queasy stomach ones though.
A plastic carry bag serves me well. Single use and touch wood, never had
a problem so far. Put your hand inside and grab the offending substance then with the
other turn the bag inside out. The litter is now inside waiting to be disposed of.
