If you're working with electronics, doing general labor, construction, or manufacturing glass, you need protection while on the job. Cut-resistant gloves can provide that protection. Our gloves are made from specially engineered yarns to cover a variety of hazards and tasks, providing protection from cuts and needlestick punctures. They have an ANSI cut rating from A2 to extreme A9, guarding hands against sharp objects. Plus, you can choose gloves with coatings of latex, polyurethane, or nitrile for added grip and chemical protection. These gloves are highly recommended for industries such as automotive, construction, metal stamping, and oil & gas.
It's important to note that different gloves are better suited for specific applications. For example, if you need gloves that don't limit your dexterity, try 13-18 gauge gloves with thin yet strong polyurethane or micro-foam nitrile coatings. If you're working with heat or flame, gloves made from para-aramid fabric like Kevlar would be more appropriate. Touchscreen gloves are also available. Some styles are ambidextrous for fast and easy donning, and come in various combinations of fabrics, gauges, and coatings to perfectly match your application.
The most cut-resistant gloves are typically those with an ANSI cut rating of A9. Try Hexarmor if you need ANSI Level 9 gloves for the best cut resistance that provide over 6000 grams of cutting-load resistance.
Gloves with lower cut ratings may be sufficient for some tasks, and may offer greater dexterity and flexibility. Ultimately, the best cut-resistant gloves for a particular job will depend on the specific needs of that job, and should be selected based on careful consideration of the hazards and requirements involved.
Cut-resistant gloves can help to reduce the risk of injury, but they cannot completely eliminate the threat. These gloves provide extra protection against cuts, scrapes, and lacerations. However, it's important to note that no glove is completely cut-proof. To ensure maximum protection, it's best to purchase gloves that exceed the level of hazard you will be exposed to.
Level 4 gloves offer strong protection to prevent injuries from sharp objects while on the job. For added durability and improved dexterity, these gloves can have reinforced nitrile or latex coatings. They're particularly useful in construction work, general labor, and glass handling, where a balance between flexibility and cut protection is essential.
Glove gauges are a shorthand for yarn thickness. The "gauge" refers to the number of stitches in each inch of yarn. More stitches make the yarn thinner so that a higher gauge glove will be thinner, softer, and lighter.
Nowadays, a thin and thick glove can be equally protective due to advances in cut-resistant technology, so the gauge you want depends on the task at hand.
For example, a thinner glove will be better for tasks requiring fine motor skills, but a thicker glove will provide more cushioning for lifting heavy and abrasive objects. We carry gloves from 7-gauge to 18-gauge that fit like a second skin.
