Blackrock Lightweight PU Gripper Gloves

Blackrock Lightweight PU Gripper Gloves are ultra‑light, close‑fitting work gloves designed for
excellent grip, dexterity and feel when handling small parts and tools. Featuring a breathable
knitted liner with a tough polyurethane (PU) coated palm, these lightweight grip gloves are ideal
for assembly, warehousing, engineering, trades and general handling where precision and control
matter.

Blackrock Lightweight PU Gripper Gloves have been developed for tasks that demand a combination of
tactile sensitivity, secure grip and all‑day comfort. The seamless knitted liner (typically polyester
or nylon – check specification) hugs the hand for a snug, ergonomic fit, while the thin polyurethane
(PU) palm coating delivers outstanding grip without adding bulk.

This combination makes the gloves particularly suitable for fine assembly work, packing, picking,
light engineering, maintenance and general handling, where users need to feel what they are doing
while still benefiting from a protective layer. The breathable back reduces heat build‑up, helping
to keep hands comfortable even during longer shifts.

Typically tested to EN 388 for mechanical protection, Blackrock Lightweight PU Gripper Gloves provide
reliable abrasion resistance and basic protection against minor cuts, tears and punctures. They are
an excellent choice for light to medium‑duty applications in warehouses, workshops, production lines,
logistics and trades such as electricians, joiners and fit‑out teams.

Typical Use Cases

• Assembly and production line work handling small parts and components.
• Warehousing, picking, packing and logistics work with boxes and cartons.
• Light engineering and maintenance – tools, fixings and general handling.
• Trades and fit‑out work – electricians, joiners, shopfitting and installation teams.
• General DIY and home projects requiring good grip and dexterity.

Fitting & Usage Tips

• Choose the right size: Gloves should fit closely without restricting movement; refer to the Blackrock size guide if available.
• Use for appropriate risk level: These are lightweight gloves ideal for light mechanical tasks – for sharp edges or high‑cut risks, select a higher cut‑rated glove.
• Best for dry & light oily grip: PU coating offers excellent grip in dry and slightly oily conditions; avoid heavily oiled or wet work where another coating may be better.
• Inspect regularly: Check for wear, holes or coating damage and replace gloves when worn to maintain protection.
• Keep them clean and dry: Allow gloves to dry naturally if damp; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
