Heavy-duty work gloves
Thick protective gloves that shield hands from sharp edges, broken glass, splintered wood, and contaminated surfaces. Essential for safely handling discarded items and navigating industrial debris.
What to look for
- 1Cut-resistant rating (ANSI A3 or higher protects against glass and metal edges)
- 2Palm grip coating (nitrile or polyurethane prevents slipping on wet/oily surfaces)
- 3Wrist coverage that extends 2+ inches past your wrist bone
- 4Machine-washable construction (you'll need to clean these frequently)
Skip
- Fashion work gloves with thin leather—won't stop punctures
- Coated gloves that stiffen in cold weather
- Sizes so loose the fingertips extend beyond yours (loss of dexterity)
Used for: Sorting through dumpster materials · Moving broken furniture or pallets · Handling metal scrap or glass · Exploring abandoned spaces with sharp debris
