Handle sharp objects in cramped spaces where your hands might bump into heavy machinery. These gloves have bumpers on the back to protect against impacts. Made with polyethylene, they’ll also shield you from cuts and punctures. They’re textured for a secure grip, even when working with slippery objects.

All have an ANSI/ISEA 105 cut rating, which reflects the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. Meeting the most common cut rating for industrial applications, A4 gloves can be worn with sharp-edged materials such as sheet metal and glass. A5 and A6 gloves protect against cutting blades, knives, and sharp wire. They’re also rated ANSI/ISEA 138 for how much impact they can absorb on a scale of 1 to 3. Higher ratings signify better protection for knuckles and fingers from impact injuries.

Nitrile-coated gloves resist chemicals and oil. A reinforced thumb adds extra material to the area between your thumb and pointer finger for durability.

Gloves that meet EN 388 adhere to European standards, similar to ANSI/ISEA 105, for resistance to abrasive surfaces, tears, cuts, punctures, and impacts.
