Hands take a beating on construction sites. They come in direct contact with all types of surfaces, materials, tools and substances! Individuals heavily rely on their hands for outdoor work, which is why it’s important to protect them with gloves when possible.
In the category of general work gloves, we recommend Milwaukee Tool’s high dexterity polyurethane dipped gloves. Find out why below.
What are These Gloves for?
Use these heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands and fingers when doing outdoor work. This product is designed for automotive, mechanical work, electrical, construction and more. Outside of these industrial jobs, you can wear the gloves when doing motorsports and gardening.
The construction gloves are available with A2, A3 or A4 cut level ratings. This means you can use these gloves to comply with ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 hand protection standards. Choosing a pair of gloves with cut level ratings that match the hazards of your construction work is a great way to ensure safety.
Notable Features
These work gloves are equipped with many layers of protection for durability in rugged sites. The polyurethane dip serves as a chemical sealant, which helps block moisture, mold, corrosive substances and oil stains. When combined with 18-gauge knit construction, this coating prevents sweat from building up inside the gloves. Polyurethane coatings also allow the gloves to effectively resist scratches, helping the product last longer. This type of coating is frequently found on concrete surfaces, as well as garage floors and industrial settings.
Nitrile coating protects critical parts of the glove, including between the thumb and index finger. This type of coating is designed to minimize hand fatigue and chemical degradation. Although nitrile is synthetic, it does not irritate sensitive skin.
Smartswipe™ technology on the fingertips, knuckles and palms of the gloves makes using touchscreen devices more responsive. With the rise of tablets, digital tools and smartphone apps, this feature is essential for construction sites.

"We've seen while researching with our users that if gloves aren't comfortable, they won't wear hand protection," says Zach Richman, director of product management at Milwaukee Tool.
"Some frustrations we've seen that lead to users not wearing gloves is lack of dexterity in detailed applications, hands getting too hot while working, or not being able to use their phone or tablet. To help prevent hand injuries on the jobsite, workers must wear the proper hand protection. At Milwaukee Tool, we are dedicated to bringing innovative safety solutions to our users that solve their frustrations.”
