Klein Tools 40017 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes do the Klein Tools cowhide Thinsulate work gloves come in, and what are the part numbers?
Three sizes: Medium is part number 40016, Large is 40017, and X-Large is 40018. Ordering by those numbers is the cleanest way to get the size you want when you're stocking a crew.
2) Are these insulated leather gloves rated for electrical work on live circuits?
No. These are cowhide leather work gloves with Thinsulate lining, intended for general hand protection during electrical installation and maintenance, construction, industrial repair, utility and telecom field work, HVAC service, and material handling. They are not rubber insulating gloves and carry no electrical insulating rating. For live-line work you need a tested rubber insulating glove with a leather protector over it.
3) Will lined winter gloves like these still let me handle small screws and wire nuts?
Dexterity is the point of the design here. The index finger is built with an inseam so the fingertip stays thin for tactile feel, and the Gunn cut keeps seams off the high-wear palm and finger surfaces. The cowhide is soft and form-fitting rather than stiff. That said, any Thinsulate-lined glove is bulkier than an unlined drivers glove, so for fine terminal work many electricians still pull them off.
4) Do these gloves have a cuff or a knit wrist that keeps debris out?
The wrist uses a shirred-elastic back rather than a safety cuff or knit wrist. It pulls in snug against the wrist so insulation and dust stay out, and the glove still slips on and off quickly, which matters if you're taking gloves off dozens of times a shift. There is no gauntlet cuff, so forearm coverage is not part of this glove.
5) Are these gloves warm enough for outdoor winter work, or just a light lining?
They're built for cold-weather work: Thinsulate lining for warmth retention with breathability, paired with a cowhide shell. Klein lists general construction and building trades in cold weather along with utility and telecom field work as intended uses. For extreme cold or wet conditions you'd want a waterproof outer shell over or instead of leather, since nothing here states water resistance.
6) Can I standardize one glove across my electrical and HVAC crews?
For general handling, yes. The same cowhide Thinsulate glove is listed for electrical installation and maintenance, HVAC install and service, industrial maintenance, automotive and mechanical repair, and warehouse material handling, and it comes in Medium, Large and X-Large so most hands are covered by three SKUs. What it won't cover is any task needing a rated electrical insulating glove or cut-rated protection.
7) How should these leather work gloves be stored and inspected between jobs?
Check each pair before use for cuts, punctures or heavy wear, since leather that's split no longer protects. Put them on with clean dry hands so the grip holds, and make sure the elastic wrist is seated. Store them clean and dry, away from sharp objects and extreme temperatures, which keeps the cowhide from drying out and stiffening.
