Protect your hands from cuts and friction burns while using electric drain cleaners. These gloves resist water and oil and have a textured grip, so you can handle cable without it slipping. They’re also known as ugly gloves.

PVC and nylon gloves have PVC chips on the front for added grip. The chips create enough friction to help you grasp wet cables but are smooth enough to let you feed them easily. These gloves also have a PVC nitrile blend coating that resists liquids. They’re more flexible than leather gloves. Nylon gloves meet ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388 standards for cut, abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance.

Protection where it counts—these gloves prevent a chainsaw from slicing through to your hand. Made to hold the chainsaw in your right hand, the backing on the left hand of these gloves has 20 layers of cut-resistant fabric. This backing slows or jams the blade of most handheld chainsaws and guards against kickback. Reinforced palms shield against impact and vibration, so you can use your chainsaw for extended periods without hand fatigue.

These gloves meet EN ISO 11393-4, an international standard that states these gloves can halt the blade of a chainsaw moving up to 20 meters per second. They also meet EN 388 requirements to shield you from abrasive surfaces, tears, and punctures.

Use these gloves to cover your hands while leaving your fingertips open to grip objects.

Kevlar gloves are durable—all are rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cut and abrasion resistance. Those with PVC grip give you a secure grip. The grip pattern is on both sides of the glove, so you can wear them on either hand to extend the life of the gloves.

Often used in glass manufacturing and metal fabrication, these gloves protect your hands from sharp edges and intermittent heat. They’re rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 standards for cut and heat resistance. The ANSI heat rating reflects the amount of heat they can withstand before there’s a risk of second-degree burns. The higher the number, the greater the protection. Holding heavy objects may decrease the temperature rating.

ANSI cut ratings reflect the amount of force required to cut through them with a razor blade. Gloves rated A4 are good for jobs involving sharp-edged materials such as sheet metal and glass.

Gloves with grip are textured to help you grasp slippery objects. Gloves with full coverage have grip on the front and back—wear them on either hand to extend their life.
