ProFix Cut-Resistant Gloves, Grip-Fit Mechanic's, 1 pairs

What it is for

Cut resistance is a level, not a claim. The A2/L2 grades stop a straight blade from a box cutter and are comfortable enough to wear all day; the L5 grade is for handling sheet metal, glass and serrated trim and is noticeably stiffer. A workshop that issues one pair for everything either buys gloves nobody wears or gloves that fail.

The level refers to the palm. Coating matters separately: a nitrile or PU palm keeps grip on an oily component, which is where a cut actually happens — the hand slips, and the slip puts the blade into the hand. Replace them when the coating is worn through, not when the fabric has a hole.

Specification detail

1 pairs of cut-resistant gloves in the level stated, with a nitrile or PU palm coating and a breathable knitted back. European sizing; machine washable at low temperature. The level applies to the palm and fingers rather than to the whole glove.

• Level stated on the glove and on the listing — A2/L2 for a blade, L5 for sheet metal
• Nitrile or PU palm keeps grip on an oily component, where cuts actually happen
• Breathable knitted back for all-day wear instead of gloves taken off after an hour
• Machine washable at low temperature, which extends the coating life

Before you order

Check the size and quantity against your own job first: most returns in this category come from ordering the wrong diameter, finish or pack size rather than from a fault. If you are unsure, send us a photo or a measurement and we will confirm which variant you need.
