In this episode of MSC’s Tooling Up, host Toni Neary talks with Brian Moseley, Technical Manager at SHOWA, about how advanced glove engineering is helping manufacturers keep workers safe and productive across today’s most demanding metalworking environments. Brian walks through SHOWA’s design philosophy, starting with high-cut protection using materials like stainless steel and aramid fibers, improving grip with micro-foam coatings, and enhancing comfort with soft liners and ergonomic fit. Each feature is engineered to help reduce injuries, improve dexterity, and ensure gloves stay on throughout the workday. The three specific gloves discussed in this episode are: SHOWA 581 – Lightweight Cut Protection Combining stainless steel and aramid materials, the 581 delivers an impressive A5 cut rating in a lightweight, flexible design. Workers get serious protection without stiffness, making this glove ideal for tasks where dexterity and precision are critical. SHOWA 576 – Grip and Comfort in Oily Conditions Built for environments with oils, cutting fluids, and lubricants, the 576 features a double-dipped nitrile coating—a gray continuous barrier film that blocks liquids and a black micro-foam layer that enhances grip. Inside, a plated white liner provides lasting comfort, keeping hands cool and dry during long shifts. SHOWA 377 SC – Full-Coverage Protection For the toughest jobs, the 377 SC delivers complete fluid resistance with a fully dipped continuous blue coating and micro-foam grip finish. This glove offers extended wrist coverage and robust cut protection, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty or hydraulic applications where full protection is essential. From lightweight flexibility to full-coverage safety, SHOWA’s gloves are redefining what workers can expect from metalworking hand protection. Each design is backed by SHOWA’s commitment to research, innovation, and real-world performance—helping teams stay safer, work smarter, and perform better.
