Dumb question, are they waterproof? Like what if it needs to be washed? Spilled soda or beer or bbq sauce, etc..

The hand I most recently got is the first waterproof hand available without a skin covering.  However, they are only waterproof up to the wrist.  All other hands MUST have a skin covering to be waterproof up to the wrist.  Even at that point you must not have tears/rips, but I have never had a problem with some tears, and washing the hand.  
 

True story, I went to an outdoor concert few yrs back, got caught in a 2 hr downpour that filled up the skin covering on my last hand(the painted arm i have posted), it was so wet water was pouring out as I was driving to work! I shut the hand off, set it ontop of my dehumidifier for a few days, and it after about a week started working again! Never a problem after

Might be the pic but is it a lot bigger? 

It’s actually way too small, like a teenage hand! Very disappointed

Dang.  So now what ? Besides being smaller as a bad thing , any pros to it ? 

The pros are I am being paid to use it, and give my honest opinion.  It is showing a trouble code of “default” just like a “check engine” light in a vehicle...

Yes, WOW is what i thought too when I first saw it.  However, it will be perfect for people who look at the the bigger Taska hand next to it, and see it as too big.  Some hands on the market have different sizes.  I think that is what they need to do here in this case, create a larger version in addition.
