REVIEW: Kevlar Arm Protection Sleeves w/ Thumb Hole – FIT & CUT TEST!

I got a lot of cuts when working in the garden and when in the garage. I bought Kevlar Arm Protection Sleeves with Thumb Hole ( https://amzn.to/2ZjIu23 ) to test the fit and cut durability to review.

So Kevlar Arm Protection Sleeves with Thumb Hole ( https://amzn.to/2ZjIu23 ) I bought were dark gray. The red skull logo was only on one of the sleeves. There are NO labels sewn on the sleeves indicating what the material was used. I am not sure if it really was Kevlar fiber. There are no care instructions either. Like other clothing and stuff I buy I love following care instructions. This one didnt have it so I am skeptical of the performance.

When new the fit very tight. They need to be washed a few times to loosen them. The knit on the yarn is like a sweater, so it breathes well after the knit loosens up. The new yarn and knit is slightly itch as it is a bit course.

Kevlar Arm Protection Sleeves with Thumb Hole ( https://amzn.to/2ZjIu23 ) are pretty durable. The knit will NOT STOP a sharp object from going in between the knit. A tip of a pen can easily stretch in-between the knit. That means a cat claws or rose bush thorns will also easily poke through the sleeve. For my test I used a sharp utility knife tip and it poked through it.

The protection sleeve and fiber is durable against sharp cuts and abrasion. I slashed the sharp utility knife against the sleeve several times and it held up. So while working on the garden it would offer some protection from cuts.
Will it stop a large knife slash, I am not sure I really dont want to test it and ruin my new work and gardening sleeves.

Overall, I would use this when working on the car or around sheet metal, while biking, around the garden, or when handling large dogs which light to jump on against my arm. It will protect my arm from general cuts and adds warmth while working in cold environments.

I also have a video on how to use the Sewing Machine built in AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER. I got my first Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). This new model has a robust heavy duty motor that is able to sew heavier fabrics with ease. Most importantly it has an AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER

There are four ways to thread hand sewing needles:

  1. Wet the end of the needle and poke it through the eye of the needle. This is the hardest method.
  2. Use a Needle Threading Tool ( Hook Type ): https://amzn.to/3Cg21iI
    This is very easy. Just insert the hook into the eye of the needle and pull the thread through.
  1. Use Needle Threading Tool (Wire Loop Type): https://amzn.to/3Bkk3ix
    This is also very easy to use. Just insert the wire loop into the eye of the needle, thread the thread into the wire loop, then pull the wire loop and thread through the eye of the needle.
  2. Self Threading Needles: https://amzn.to/3C9lfq5
    These are very convenient needles where you just insert the thread into the a slit in the eye of the needle. It hooks into it and works well.

HOW TO USE: SINGER – AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER – on Singer Sewing Machines. EASY & FAST

This video shows you how to use the Singer Sewing Machine built in AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER. I got my first Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). This new model has a robust heavy duty motor that is able to sew heavier fabrics with ease. Most importantly it has an AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER

My prior model was Singer beginners model M3220 ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ) did not have one and it took a long time to thread it. With an AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER it makes threading easy, especially if you have a hard time seeing the needle hole.

The auto needle threader is easy to use. Simply pull the tool down. Align the guides to the needle eye. Once the hook is positioned in the eye, its stays in place so you can guide the new thread. Guide the thread into the large V shaped guide to the left then string it to the small guide to the right. Slowly move the tool back and the hook on the tool will pull the thread into the eye of the needle. It leaves about 1 centimeter of tread to pull through. After a few tries, it is very easy.

This Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ) is a gift to my mother as her 25 year old Singer Sewing machine failed after 25 years. She really liked the Singer Sewing machine simple knobs and included accessories. In the next few weeks i will learn how to sew and fix clothing!
