The Portwest A661 is a cut resistant glove for handling sharp materials and edged components where you also need a secure grip and good fingertip control. The nitrile foam coating holds well on wet or dry surfaces, and the fine 18 gauge liner lets you feel what you are handling.
Practical touches make it easy to keep on for the whole task. You can use most mobile touchscreen devices without removing it. A reinforced thumb crotch strengthens a common wear point, and a reflective label makes the gloves easier to spot in poorly lit areas.
