Protective work gloves can help you make quick work of difficult, potentially messy jobs. Whether you're working in the yard, indoors or at a job site, Ace has a selection of work gloves for you to choose from.

The Main Types of Work Gloves

No matter what conditions you work in, Ace Hardware offers the right gloves to keep your hands protected and help you finish the job safely and confidently. When shopping for work gloves, narrow down your choice based on the material of your safety gloves, including leather, fabric, and rubber protective gloves.

Leather Work Gloves

Leather gloves are typically made from cowhide leather, but buffalo, deerskin, boar skin, goatskin, pigskin, synthetic and combination leather designs are also available. Leather work gloves are highly durable and long lasting, with different features reinforced for the job at hand. All leather safety gloves offer great protection against liquids, extreme temperatures, cuts, punctures and more. Additionally, work gloves with leather palms give you many of the benefits of leather gloves while allowing for a greater range of motion on the job.

Coated Fabric Safety Gloves

Coated work gloves offer good protection on the job without limiting your range of motion. Many knit-based coated work gloves are also cut-resistant gloves. You will find coated work gloves usually dipped in latex, nitrile or polyurethane, although other coatings also exist.

• Latex: Offering a reliable grip, latex gloves are durable and resistant to extreme temperatures.
• Nitrile: Cut-resistant work gloves may be dipped in nitrile, as this substance gives reliable puncture and cut resistance. Foam nitrile coatings are also common, allowing you to grip slippery objects—like those coated in oil—more easily.
• Polyurethane: Offering arguably the best grip of any coated work gloves, PU coatings are also highly flexible. What’s more, they protect well against substances like oil and grease.

Many of these coatings also feature resistance to a variety of chemicals and liquids one may be exposed to on the job site or even at home, so you can work knowing you’re taking the necessary steps to protect yourself against a chemical burn.

Rubber Protective Gloves

Rubber-insulated protective gloves are the choice for those working in high-voltage situations. They are available in class ratings from 0 to 3. The higher the class rating of the rubber-insulated gloves, the more protection they offer.  

What Should You Look for in Demolition Gloves?

Demolition gloves need to stand up to the rigors of the construction site while giving their wearers enough protection, comfort, and flexibility to get the job done right. When looking for demolition gloves, consider options that provide:

• Wind and waterproof protection against the elements.
• Impact protection and vibration absorption.
• Puncture and cut resistance.
• Solid, non-sticky grip for a variety of materials.
• Adjustable cuffs for better fits.
• Touchscreen compatibility to access smart technology necessary for the job.

What’s more, many demolition gloves come designed with high visibility colors to increase safety in low-light areas.
