Work Gloves

At ITS our Work Gloves are expertly picked out to protect your hands from the dangers of hard work. We have a wide range of gloves made from various materials for a plethora of jobs, all available for next-day delivery so you can safely get the job done.

We stock the following types of safety gloves:

Cut Resistant Gloves

When working in conditions with sharp materials, keeping your hands safe should be a priority. Cut-resistant gloves aim to protect against cuts and wounds on the job. Most work gloves will have a degree of cut resistance but understanding the depth of protection is important when purchasing work gloves.

EN388:2016 Cut Ratings

EN388:2016 is the standard at which gloves are tested for safety gloves. The test gives out 6 ratings to gloves depending on their resistance to Abrasions, Cuts, Tears punctures, and Impact. For Cuts, all you need to know is that cut resistance is measured on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest level of protection.

For example, Milwaukee have cut resistant gloves ranging from level 1 - 5

  1. Milwaukee’s Cut resistance level 1 gloves
  2. Milwaukee’s Cut resistance level 2 gloves
  3. Milwaukee’s Cut resistance level 3 gloves
  4. Milwaukee’s Cut resistance level 4 gloves
  5. Milwaukee’s Cut resistance level 5 gloves

Gardening Gloves

We’ve all been there, Christmas winds down you blink and it's already spring, the Sun is out and the garden is a mess. Gardening gloves are important for keeping your hands safe and cut free from any accidental offcuts or dangers that come when working in your yard. At ITS we have a range of work gloves including gardening gloves (like these) to get you right in time for the summer. 

Anti-Vibration Gloves

Vibrations in tools like breakers, grinders, and heavy saws can cause serious harm and damage to you. Anti Vibration gloves work to reduce the stress on your joints muscles and most importantly hands. Thankfully some tools come equipped with anti-vibration technology and the industry as a whole is learning the importance of keeping your joints better protected. If you want to reduce your risk of injury then anti-vibration gloves such as beeswift’s Glovezilla are a great start.

Gloves for Mechanics

Mechanics work with oily, heavy machinery on a day-to-day basis. Because of these working conditions they need specialized work gloves to help them with their day-to-day activities. Mechanics gloves will in general offer some type of oil resistance which makes it easier to handle engines etc which may be riddled with oil. For example, Milwaukee’s impact demolition gloves would be a great addition to your kit, if you were for example disassembling engines and would likely improve productivity.

Gloves for Electricians 

It may or may not be a ..shock to you but electricians have a highly risky job. One wrong move near a high voltage could spell disaster. Thankfully highly insulated electrician gloves exist to protect from injury and accidental shocks. At ITS we offer a range of electricians gloves so that you can get the job done without fearing for your safety.

Gloves for Builders including Bricklaying Gloves

As a builder, in fact, working in the construction industry can see you work numerous jobs and expose you to just as many harsh working environments. Cuts and bruises are almost a given on site, but the probability of them happening can be vastly reduced by wearing work gloves. When looking for gloves when building you’ll want to figure out what you’re in the most risk of happening and plan for that. 

For bricklaying, nitrile-coated gloves are the way to go as they are extremely puncture-resistant and also lightweight enough to not leave you with buckets of sweat on your fingertips. We recommend Stanley’s Nitrile gripper gloves.

Leather Work Gloves

Tough, Durable, Fire resistant, all words used to describe the qualities of leather, When you purchase a pair of leather gloves you’re purchasing quality. At ITS our Leather work gloves are of the highest quality like these Milwaukee Leather gloves which come with smartswipe (for mobile screens). 

Fingerless Work Gloves

When working with particularly small tools or with jobs that require precise movement the thinner the glove the more flexibility and control you have. That's why many specialists prefer fingerless work gloves for more intricate jobs. We have a whole range of Fingerless work gloves to suit a slew of needs. Dewalt’s Performance gloves are built for purpose, they even have a terry cloth at the back of the hand for wiping sweat away, these guys just get it. They know that if you’re looking for fingerless gloves you’re likely to build up a sweat. 

Thermal Work Gloves

There’s nothing worse than picking something up in the cold and feeling like your fingers are going to fall off. Not only that but when working with refrigeration pipes can get to uncomfortably low degrees, that's where Thermal work gloves come into play. Keeping your hands safe from the cold isn’t just about keeping warm in the winter there are jobs that require you to handle cold equipment all year round. 

At ITS we stock high-quality Thermal Work Gloves to keep your hands safe working in extreme temperatures. Honeywell’s Cold Grip gloves are not only great at keeping you shielded from the elements but they'll also protect you from cuts.

Rigger Gloves

Rigger Gloves are some of the most heavy-duty on the market. If you need to lift or carry anything heavy 9/10 rigger gloves will be your best bet. The majority of rigger gloves are extremely padded usually with leather to support and distribute weight when manual handling. Rigger gloves can take the place of many gloves in jobs such as warehouse jobs where you are picking and moving items at a high frequency in fact some of our staff swear by the Dewalt Premium Riggers as a daily driver.

Waterproof Work Gloves

Working in the rain or in wet situations is already hard enough, without sufficient waterproof workwear it can be even worse. Our waterproof gloves help in a variety of jobs, keeping your hands dry and increasing your grip where otherwise it might falter. When looking for waterproof work gloves one thing that is overlooked is the wrist fitting, if too loose water can find its way to the inside of the glove potentially ruining your day. Gloves like Stanleys Waterproof gloves have velcro fastening wrists that get rid of this issue, they also have padding in all the right places allowing you a firm grip even in wet weather.

Winter Work Gloves

Working in the winter is already hard enough, keeping your hands warm is almost a given. Winter work gloves are highly insulated and designed to keep your hands warm. If you’re looking for a pair of comfortable gloves to wear whilst onsite look no further ITS has you covered
