Milwaukee High Visibility Cut Level 3 Polyurethane-Dipped Gloves

ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Cut Level A3. The cut protection comes from high performance polyethylene knit into the shell rather than a coating, so it stays in the glove through the life of the liner. That level suits general sheet metal handling, glazing work, and trim carpentry where blades and edges are in play, but it is not a replacement for an A5 or higher glove on heavy glass or steel plate edges.

They are cut resistant gloves, not electrical insulating gloves. The protection stated is ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Cut Level 3 against blades and edges. For live work you need rubber insulating gloves with a voltage class and leather protectors. Use these for material handling, pulling wire, and cutting on de-energized work.

Yes. The fingertips are SMARTSWIPE touchscreen compatible, so you can work a phone, a tablet, or a job-site terminal with the gloves on. That matters for techs logging work orders or scanning parts between tasks.

The shell is a 15 gauge knit, which is a fine gauge built for dexterity, and the polyurethane dip is light and breathable rather than a thick heavy coat. You can pick up screws, set wire nuts, and land terminations without pulling them off. A 10 or 13 gauge glove would give more abrasion bulk but less feel.

That is the spot Milwaukee reinforced. There is an added nitrile coating between the thumb and index finger, which is the first area to wear through on gloves used for knife work, pulling wire, or repeated blade strokes. It extends service life in the zone that normally retires a dipped glove early.

A polyurethane dip like the one on these Milwaukee cut level 3 gloves is a dry-grip, breathable coating. It is built for handling metal, tools, and materials in dry conditions where you want feel and airflow. For sustained oil, coolant, or wet handling, a full nitrile or foam nitrile dipped glove gives better grip and liquid resistance. The nitrile here is only a reinforcement patch at the thumb and index finger, not a full coating.

No. The high visibility color on these gloves helps hand signals read and makes the gloves easier to spot in a gang box, but hand protection is not what high visibility apparel standards cover. Your vest or shirt carries that requirement. Treat the color as a visibility aid, not compliance.
