Understanding cut ratings
How to choose the right cut rating?
Based on the level of vertical force exerted on the blade, the glove is given a cut score, ranging from 1-9. The higher the number, the higher resistance. See below for a list of ANSI Cut Ratings, and suitable applications.
Looking to buy cut gloves? Shop Our Selection
A1 - 200g-499g - Low Cut Hazard
For situations where there is very little risk of cuts, A1 rated gloves are suitable.
Examples: General Purpose Gloves, Assembly, Shipping & Receiving, Landscaping, Warehouse Work.
A2 - 500g-999g - Light Cut Hazards
A slightly elevated level of protection. If a greater use of force is used, or if there is exposure to more items that could cause a cut, A2 rated gloves are more suitable.
