Milwaukee Goatskin Leather Gloves

Two sizes: large, part number 48-73-0012, and extra large, part number 48-73-0013. Order by the part number if you're stocking a crew, since the only difference between the two is the size.

No. These are goatskin leather general work gloves for handling material, tools, and conduit. They are not insulating rubber gloves and should not be used as electrical shock protection. For live work you need rubber insulating gloves with the matching class rating and leather protectors over them.

Yes. The goatskin gloves have Smartswipe on the fingertips, so you can run a touchscreen, sign for a delivery, or pull up a drawing without stripping a glove. Useful if you're a service tech or PM logging work orders between tasks.

They're built around soft top grain goatskin with a reinforced palm, which is the wear point on any work glove. Goatskin is thin and pliable, so you keep dexterity for wire pulling, terminations, and small fasteners while the reinforcement takes the abrasion. They also carry knuckle protection for knocks against boxes, studs, and conduit.

Goatskin is the pick when you need to feel what you're doing. It's naturally supple and thin, so terminations, small screws, and connectors stay manageable. Cowhide is heavier and better suited to rough demo, rebar, or hot work where you want bulk over dexterity. These Milwaukee gloves use soft top grain goatskin with a reinforced palm, so they lean toward the dexterity side while still holding up on the wear surface.

There's a pull tab at the cuff, so you can yank them on quickly one-handed, which is what you want if you're pulling gloves on and off between tasks. The keystone thumb also keeps the fit natural through the web of the hand instead of bunching when you grip.
