K2977-L - Lincoln Electric SteelWorker Fabrication & Light Welding Gloves - Large

Premium Hand Protection for Industrial Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric K2977-L Full Leather SteelWorker™ Gloves are engineered to bridge the gap between heavy-duty material handling and precision metal fabrication. In the industrial MRO sector, finding a glove that offers both the ruggedness required for moving steel and the tactile sensitivity needed for tool operation is a common challenge. These gloves address that need by utilizing a hybrid leather construction. The palm is crafted from top-grain cowhide, a material renowned for its resistance to abrasion and punctures, making it ideal for gripping rough metal stock, operating machinery, or handling structural components. This ensures that the primary wear surface of the glove maintains its integrity over prolonged use in demanding shop environments.

Conversely, the back of the glove is constructed from grain goatskin. Goatskin is significantly softer and more pliable than cowhide, allowing for superior dexterity and breathability. This design choice is critical for technicians who need to manipulate smaller fasteners, operate control panels, or perform fine adjustments without removing their gloves. The inclusion of a padded palm further enhances the user experience by providing a layer of cushioning against vibration and impact, which is particularly beneficial when using power tools or grinders for extended periods.

Durability is reinforced through the use of high-quality stitching. The K2977-L gloves feature Kevlar® and Nomex® thread, materials selected for their exceptional tensile strength and heat resistance. This prevents the seams from unraveling under stress or when exposed to the incidental heat generated during grinding or light tacking operations. The secure fit is managed by an elastic wrist band paired with a hook-and-loop closure tab, ensuring the glove remains firmly in place while preventing debris, metal shavings, or sparks from entering the cuff. For facility managers and safety officers, these gloves represent a versatile solution for crews engaged in general steel work, maintenance, and light-duty thermal applications.
