What gloves to use for electrical work?
If you're working with electrical wiring, you will need sufficient hand protection to protect yourself from electric shocks. As rubber insulates against electricity, the only gloves that will sufficiently protect you are insulated rubber gloves. Decide on the class. The higher the electrical gloves class, the higher volts they can handle. There are also Type I and Type II electrical gloves. Type II provides Ozone-protection using synthetic rubber rather than natural rubber. Lastly, electricians often wear leather protectors over their rubber gloves to protect against burns and puncture wounds.
What are work gloves used for?
We offer a range of work gloves that provide different functions. Primarily, work gloves are used to protect your hands while conducting manual labour. Materials like wood and rubble can damage your skin, so your work gloves will help protect and allow you to grip onto materials. Some have shock impact padding for high-impact work, and fingerless work gloves are for more precision work.
