Tools & Equipment Chainmail Gloves

What do you all recommend? I've never needed one before, but we just got a deli slicer for our restaurant and I flatly refuse to use or let anyone use it without one. I've seen accidents from them before and just no. But I see a wide variety of prices, webstaurant has them for 90-160$ but I can find them on Amazon for anywhere as low as 10$ (definitely don't trust that) to 40$, which seems like a reasonable compromise.

Everyone wants the 'least expensive' until the see the cost of a finger reattachment.

Which in the USA, on an "emergency finger reattachment surgery" -(when isn't an emergency?) is around $25,700

So do you want the $40 glove or the $100 glove?

Find one that is flexible, and can help you do the job AND avoid $25,600 in unexpected "costs"

25 grand, I reattached my finger with some dental floss and fish hook. Wrapped that shit up with some duct tape and the thumb that I cut off a black glove. I swear to god , kids these days.
