Grip for Everyday Handling
SHOWA describes the 962 as a leather alternative for general work. Its rough coating supports grip in dry, wet and oily conditions, while the liner provides a soft contact surface. Grip still depends on the object, contamination and glove condition; check control using representative materials before assigning the glove to a task.
The coating minimizes liquid absorption, but that statement does not establish waterproof construction, immersion suitability or chemical permeation resistance. Full coating describes coverage. For solvents, cleaners or other hazardous liquids, choose protection using chemical-specific manufacturer test data.
Safety Standards and Selection
SHOWA classifies this model for general-purpose hazards. Its published product information does not provide an ANSI cut level or EN 388 performance code. Do not infer these ratings from the coating material, appearance or another SHOWA model.
OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires employers to select appropriate hand protection for identified hazards. Selection must consider glove performance, tasks, conditions and duration of use. The regulation guides workplace selection; it does not certify this glove.
For sharp edges, compare cut resistant gloves and sleeves with documented performance. Assess chemical, thermal, electrical and impact hazards separately. General-purpose gloves do not replace machine guarding, and loose material can create entanglement risks around moving equipment.
Sizing, Packaging and Care
SHOWA lists sizes 8/S, 9/M, 10/L and 11/XL. Choose a fit that permits finger movement without excess material affecting control. Check the available size options before ordering replacements for a glove program.
Manufacturer packaging contains 12 pairs per polybag and six polybags per case, totaling 72 pairs. This ASA listing is sold by the dozen, not by the manufacturer case.
Inspect the coating, liner and cuffs before use. Replace gloves with holes, tears, excessive wear or contamination that compromises suitability. Follow manufacturer care guidance and workplace procedures when deciding whether used gloves can be reused.
