Product Information
Full details
The Beeswift Electrician Gloves Cover is designed for professional electricians and trade workers who need to extend the lifespan and performance of their primary insulating gloves. These leather gauntlets provide a crucial layer of mechanical protection against abrasions, cuts, and punctures in harsh job site environments. While they offer superior physical defense, it is important to note that these covers are not insulating and must always be worn over certified electrician gauntlet gloves to maintain electrical safety.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these gloves electrically insulated?
No, these are leather covers designed solely for mechanical protection. They must be worn over electrically rated insulating gloves.
What standards do these gloves meet?
They are certified to EN420:2003 and EN388:2016/3111x for mechanical protection.
Can I use these for welding?
While they are leather, they are specifically rated for electrical mechanical protection. Check manufacturer specifications if you require specific heat-resistant welding gloves.
How do I know if they need replacing?
Inspect the leather for thinning, holes, deep cuts, or heavy saturation with chemicals. If the leather is compromised, it will no longer protect your rubber gloves.
Are these machine washable?
No, leather should not be machine washed. Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on covers over rubber gloves
Ensure the rubber gloves are clean and dry; a slight dusting of talc on the rubber gloves can help them slide into the leather covers more easily.
Reduced dexterity during delicate tasks
Ensure the glove sizing is accurate; oversized covers can bunch up and hinder movement. Ensure the fingers are properly aligned.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly extends the life of expensive rubber insulating gloves
- Provides essential protection against sharp edges and rough surfaces
- Durable leather material ensures long-term reliability on site
- Standardized sizing ensures a consistent fit for most workers
Cons
- Reduces tactile sensitivity compared to wearing rubber gloves alone
- Must be used in combination with insulating gloves for electrical protection
- Not intended for direct high-voltage handling without base protection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper performance, verify that the size of the leather cover corresponds to the size of your underlying insulating glove. Slide the leather cover firmly over your rubber gloves until the fingers are seated correctly. For maintenance, keep the leather dry and clean from heavy oils or chemicals. If the leather becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. Regularly check the leather for tears or embedded metallic shards that could penetrate the material and damage your rubber gloves.
