Klein Tools Journeyman Cut 5 Resistant Gloves

No. These are cut resistant gloves only, with no flame or arc rating and no electrical insulation claim, and the glove is explicitly not flameproof or fire retardant. For energized work you need rubber insulating gloves with leather protectors and, for arc flash exposure, flame resistant gloves. Use the Journeyman Cut 5 for handling wire, sheet metal, strut and cable where the hazard is laceration.

Three sizes: Medium is part 40223, Large is 40224, and X-Large is 40225. They are unisex, so one size range covers the whole crew, which makes stocking simple for a shop buying in bulk.

There is TPR (thermoplastic rubber) on the back of the hand for extra protection, but no separate knuckle strap. If your crew needs a dedicated knuckle guard for impact work, look at an impact rated glove instead; this one is built around cut resistance with back of hand abrasion protection.

The Journeyman Cut 5 is a form fitted knit shell with a dip rather than a lined leather glove, and a single glove runs 1.6 oz (45 g). That keeps dexterity close to a standard work glove, so most electricians can keep them on for pulling, cutting and handling material rather than gloving on and off.

No reinforced palm pad and no thumb patch. The palm is a dipped coating over form fitted knit construction, which gives grip and adds cut protection without the bulk of a leather pad. For heavy vibration or repeated pulling wire by hand, a padded palm glove is the better call.

A neoprene wrist closure seals the cuff against the wrist. It keeps the glove on the hand and limits swarf and insulation dust from working in at the cuff, which is what you want when cutting metal stud or handling fiberglass.
