Anti Vibration Gloves

Features:

• Anti-vibration gloves absorb and dissipate vibration emitted from pneumatic and impact tools, helping to reduce fatigue to hands, arms, and shoulders
• Tacky finish and individual pods pattern enhance grip and reduce full range of vibration (25Hz - 1,000Hz)
• Meets Anti-Vibration glove standards EN ISO 10819 and ANSI S2.73-2002 (R 2007) / ISO 10819:1997

FAQ – Vibration Reduction & Shock-Absorbing Work Gloves

1. What are vibration reduction gloves?
Vibration reduction gloves, also called shock absorbing gloves or HAV (Hand-Arm Vibration) gloves, are designed to protect your hands and arms from harmful vibrations produced by power tools and machinery. They reduce the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and repetitive strain injuries by absorbing vibration energy through gel or foam padding.

2. Who should wear hand tool vibration gloves?
Hand tool gloves with vibration protection are essential for anyone regularly using high-vibration equipment, such as construction workers, landscapers, automotive mechanics, forestry personnel, and industrial machine operators. These gloves help prevent long-term fatigue and injury.

3. Which tools are compatible with shock-absorbing gloves?
These gloves are ideal for use with:

• Jackhammers and pneumatic drills

• Chainsaws and brush cutters

• Grinders and sanders

• Nail guns and power saws

• Any vibrating hand-held machinery

4. How do HAV gloves work to reduce vibration?
HAV gloves use cushioning materials like gel inserts, foam layers, or specialized fabrics to absorb vibrations before they reach your hands and arms. This protection maintains comfort, grip, and dexterity while lowering fatigue during long shifts.

5. Are vibration reduction work gloves certified?
Yes. Look for gloves that meet recognized safety standards:

• EN ISO 10819: International standard for hand-arm vibration measurement

• ANSI S2.73: U.S. standard for anti-vibration gloves

• Certified HAV gloves help reduce the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome in the workplace.

6. What materials are used in shock-absorbing work gloves?

• Gel padding: High-impact vibration absorption

• Foam inserts: Lightweight and flexible

• Leather or synthetic leather: Durable grip surface

• Breathable fabrics: Comfort for long wear
  Some gloves also include cut resistance, waterproofing, or touchscreen compatibility for added versatility.

7. How do I choose the right vibration-dampening gloves?
Consider:

• Type of tools and vibration levels

• Material and padding type

• Certification (EN ISO 10819, ANSI)

• Fit and dexterity needs

• Extra features like cut-resistance, waterproofing, or touchscreen-friendly fingertips

8. How should shock-absorbing hand tool gloves be maintained?

• Inspect regularly for worn or compressed padding

• Clean per manufacturer instructions (usually hand wash)

• Replace when gloves show wear or diminished vibration protection
  Proper care ensures ongoing safety and effectiveness.

9. Can vibration-dampening gloves improve productivity?
Yes. By minimizing hand fatigue and discomfort, these gloves allow workers to operate tools efficiently for longer periods while maintaining safety and precision.

10. Are HAV gloves suitable for all weather conditions?
Many vibration reduction gloves come in insulated or waterproof options for cold or wet environments. Choosing the right glove ensures both warmth and protection while using power tools outdoors.
