Well here's what I did with an older mod "Powerglove" by civilian. I did what Arthanor said and hey presto you can munch your way through fences, hedges, stone walls and maybe some buildings to your heart's content. The only downside is you can't attack on a diagonal but I think it's a fair trade off. Also research is required before you get your hand on these gauntlets so I would say it's a mid game weapon.
