What is the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 gloves?

The difference between Class 1 and Class 2 gloves is their voltage protection level: Class 1 gloves protect against up to 7,500V AC (11,250V DC). Class 2 gloves protect against up to 17,000V AC (25,500V DC). Both types are used for electrical work, but Class 2 gloves provide higher protection and are required for higher voltage tasks.

What gloves should be used for welding?

For welding, heat-resistant and flame-resistant gloves should be used. The best options are: Leather Welding Gloves – Made from cowhide, goatskin, or deerskin, providing heat and spark protection. Stick Welding Gloves – Thick and heavily insulated, usually made of cowhide for high heat protection. MIG Welding Gloves – More flexible than stick welding gloves, often made of pigskin or deerskin for dexterity. TIG Welding Gloves – Thin and highly flexible, usually made of goatskin, allowing precise control. Always choose gloves with Kevlar stitching for durability and cuff protection to shield wrists from sparks.
