[QUOTE="Westaus, post: 118461, member: 2598"] Hi All I am getting a range of gloves in for business, I will see if there is anything in the range that may be useful. As mentioned stopping is very difficult as you want to move and feel, but be protected. I will let you know if I see something of interest. Where possible look for a cut rating on a glove. Gloves use numbers in a sequence, each number means something, look for the hammer and under that will be numbers. Must get the hammer or it may reference to another standard, such as freezer gloves. 1st number = Abrasion 2nd number = Cut 3rd number = Tear 4th number = Puncture Examples (4 2 2 1) will have good abrasive protection but poor puncture (2 4 4 2) will have good Cut and Tear protection but less abrasive protection or life, such as handling bricks. Hope that was not too confusing ? For those that have too much time on their hands (pun, pun) have a look here for a lot more detailed information -https://nationalsafety.wordpress.com/tag/cut-resistance/ [/QUOTE]
