From comfort, fit and dexterity to protection and durability features for harsh job site conditions, each high-performance glove from Makita meets the needs of the most demanding professional.

Application-specific cut standards remain the only way to specify cut-resistant protective gloves. However, A4 cut resistance has quickly become the de facto minimum standard for work gloves used in many applications.

Major automakers, two in the past year, have embraced Brass Knuckle SmartCut BKCR2403 Cut-Resistant Gloves for assembly operations in their U.S. plants. These gloves offer ANSI level A2 cut protection balanced with extreme dexterity for tasks calling for very fine motor skills.

Ironclad Performance Wear announced the launch of their new Command Series glove line. 

Milwaukee Tool enhances comfort and safety on the jobsite with the introduction of Winter Insulated Gloves. Designed to provide ultimate warmth and all-day comfort, the new gloves are EN 511-rated

Abrasion resistance ratings are often used to evaluate the durability of a glove –that is, how long a glove will last in the field, when used for a variety of tasks. This is a key metric, because glove durability directly affects the overall cost of hand protection programs. The math is simple and effective: a $30 glove that lasts 6 weeks is three times as cost effective as a $15 glove that lasts one week.

Once in a while a company comes along that sets a new level in the industry. Black Rhino (Bold Inc.) is certainly one of these companies.
