FAQs
Can I use these protectors for high-voltage work?
These are specifically designed for low-voltage applications. Always consult your facility's safety manual regarding the required voltage class for your specific leather protectors.
Do these leather gloves provide electrical insulation?
No, leather protectors are not dielectric and do not provide electrical insulation. They must be used over rubber insulated gloves.
How often should I inspect the leather protectors?
Inspect them before every single use for signs of cuts, punctures, tears, or contamination with oil, grease, or chemicals.
Why is goat skin used instead of cowhide?
Goat skin is generally thinner and more supple than cowhide while remaining very durable, which provides better dexterity and tactile feedback.
How do I determine the correct size?
The size of the leather protector should correspond to the size of your rubber insulated gloves to ensure a proper, safe fit without excess material.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the protector over rubber gloves
Ensure the rubber gloves are clean and dry; lightly dusting the rubber glove with non-conductive glove powder can reduce friction.
Leather feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure the gloves are air-dried slowly in a shaded, ventilated area rather than in direct sunlight or near high heat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent tactile sensitivity and dexterity
- Provides superior cut and puncture resistance
- Durable goat skin construction for long service life
- Protects the integrity of rubber insulating equipment
Cons
- Not intended for use as primary electrical protection
- Requires regular inspection to ensure no contaminants have compromised the leather
- Size-specific; requires precise sizing to match the underlying rubber glove
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety, always place the leather protector over your rated rubber insulating glove before use. Ensure both gloves are properly sized; the leather protector should be slightly larger to allow for a comfortable fit without bunching. After each use, inspect the leather for signs of excessive wear, deep cuts, or embedded metal shavings that could penetrate through to the rubber layer. If the leather becomes contaminated with grease or oil, clean it with a mild soap and water solution and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not attempt to repair the leather if it shows significant structural damage; replace it immediately to maintain the protective barrier.
