Do I need impact-protection (TPR) gloves?

If you're doing demolition, framing, oil-and-gas, or any work where pinched or struck knuckles are common, reviewers strongly recommend a TPR-backed glove like the DEWALT DPG781 or a Mechanix M-Pact-style model. For general assembly, gardening, or light shop work, the bulky TPR back is usually overkill and hurts dexterity.
