The Portwest A673 CS Cut F18 Nitrile Glove is built for jobs that need a high level of cut protection alongside fine finger control. Its thin 18-gauge liner keeps the hands close to the work, so small parts and precise tasks stay manageable.
A flexible sandy nitrile coating holds its grip in wet and dry conditions. A reinforced thumb crotch strengthens a common wear point, and you can use most mobile touchscreen devices without taking the gloves off.
