Magid Cut Resistant Gloves Review (2026)

The Magid Cut Resistant Gloves are a 13-gauge HPPE knit with a nitrile-coated palm and touchscreen-capable fingertips, rated ANSI/ISEA 105 A6 for high cut resistance with all-day dexterity. This review covers how that protection is rated against the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut standard, who the glove fits, where it falls short, and how it compares to the rest of the cut-resistant gloves we stock — including HexArmor Helix 2076, HexArmor Rig Lizard 2095. For the wider field, start with our best cut-resistant gloves guide.

Editorial verdict — 4.4/5. The Magid deliver dependable ANSI A6 cut protection at a value price, with a build tuned for high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work. The trade-offs are honest for the tier — see the cons below — but for the money this is one of the easier cut gloves to recommend.

What the Magid does well

Genuine ANSI A6 cut protection at a value price

The headline is the ANSI/ISEA 105 A6 rating, verified on the listing and mapped to the TDM-100 blade-cut test in our EN 388 explainer. What sets the Magid apart is delivering that A6 level at about $14.58 a pair, where comparable gloves often cost more — see where it lands in the best cut-resistant gloves guide.

Grip and dexterity you'll actually keep on

Cut protection only works if the glove stays on the hand. The Magid's build preserves the fingertip feel needed for real work, so crews are less likely to strip it off for "just one task" — the behaviour behind most lacerations. Size it snug with the glove size chart.

Built for the job and easy to reorder

Reach for the Magid for high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work. It is a washable, reusable work glove — not a disposable — so a single pair amortizes across many shifts. When you standardize a crew, choose the ANSI level by task first, then buy by the size run from the cut-resistant gloves collection.

Where the Magid falls short

Cut-rated, not cut-proof

No glove is cut-proof, and an A6 rating describes lab cut resistance, not a guarantee. Use controlled technique and retire any pair once the shell nicks or wears through.

Single-hazard focus

This is a cut glove. It has no back-of-hand impact armor — for knuckle hazards see ANSI/ISEA 138 impact-rated gloves — and it is not a chemical or liquid barrier; for that, our chemical-resistant glove guide points the way. Match the glove to a documented hazard assessment.

Know the tier above and below

If your stock is thinner or sharper than this tier handles, step up; if you need maximum dexterity and less cut, step down. The A4 vs A5 guide and the cut vs impact comparison lay out the trade.

• Buy the Magid if you want A6 cut protection tuned for high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work at the lowest cost.

Category context: where the Magid sits

Cut gloves divide by cut level (A1–A9), shell, coating and added hazards. The Magid is a A6, coated, single-hazard cut glove tuned for high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work. Compare it against the wider field in the best cut-resistant gloves guide, the neighboring tier in best A5 cut-resistant gloves, and the coated-vs-uncoated trade in nitrile-coated vs PU-coated work gloves. Buyers also cross-shop the material-handling gloves and impact-resistant gloves lines.

Total cost of ownership

The Magid's value rests on reuse. At about $14.58 and washable, a pair amortizes across many shifts where disposables would burn cash. Assuming a pair lasts weeks of daily use before the shell thins at high-wear points, the per-shift cost is low — competitive with or cheaper than rival A6 gloves. Wash, air dry, and inspect the palm and fingertips before each shift; retire the glove once cut yarn shows through. Size and reorder from the glove size chart and the cut-resistant gloves collection.

Final verdict: Magid Cut Resistant Gloves

At 4.4/5, the Magid is a value pick for ANSI A6 cut protection tuned to high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work.

• Buy the Magid if you want A6 cut protection for high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work at the lowest cost.
• Buy HexArmor Helix 2076 if its build suits your task better.
• Step up a tier if you handle thinner or sharper stock than A6 covers — see the best cut-resistant gloves guide.

Magid cut resistant gloves: frequently asked questions

What ANSI cut level is the Magid?

The Magid is rated ANSI/ISEA 105 A6. That describes lab cut resistance on the TDM-100 blade test, not a cut-proof guarantee — match it to your hazard with the how to choose by ANSI level guide.

Is the Magid in stock and ready to ship?

Yes — this listing is active and ships through Amazon. Select your size to see live availability and shipping speed.

What size Magid should I order?

Measure across your palm and use the glove size chart; a cut glove should fit snug so it does not bunch at the fingertips. A loose cut glove is a hazard.

Is the Magid good value versus other A6 gloves?

Yes — at about $14.58 it undercuts most name-brand A6 rivals, and because it is washable the per-shift cost is low. See where it ranks in the best cut-resistant gloves guide.

Magid vs HexArmor Helix 2076 — which should I buy?

Buy the Magid for high-cut-level metal and sheet-metal work at the lowest cost; choose HexArmor Helix 2076 if its build suits your task better. Compare in the HexArmor Helix 2076 review.

Does the Magid protect against punctures or needles?

No — cut level and puncture resistance are separate ratings, and this is a cut glove. For puncture or needle hazards, choose a dedicated needle-resistant glove.

Does the Magid have impact protection?

No — it has no back-of-hand impact armor. For knuckle hazards, choose an impact-rated glove and read the ANSI/ISEA 138 impact standard.

Is the Magid machine washable?

Yes. It is a washable, reusable work glove — wash on a normal cycle, air dry, and retire it once cut yarn shows through at the fingertips or palm.

Is the Magid food safe?

No — it is not a food-contact glove. For food processing choose a food-safe cut glove from the best food-grade cut-resistant gloves guide.

What does the Magid NOT protect against?

It does not protect against punctures, impact, heat or chemicals, and it is not a liquid barrier. For those hazards see impact-rated gloves, heat-resistant gloves and the chemical-resistant glove guide.

Does the Magid work with touchscreens?

Yes — the fingertips are touchscreen-capable, so you can use a phone or tablet without removing the glove.

How is the Magid different from a disposable glove?

It is a reusable knit work glove, not a single-use disposable — it is washed and reused across many shifts, which is central to its value.

Should I buy the Magid or step up a cut tier?

If your task matches the A6 rating, this is the right pick; if you handle thinner or sharper stock, step up a level. The A4 vs A5 guide explains the jump.

Does the Magid meet OSHA requirements?

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires selecting hand protection from a documented hazard assessment rather than mandating a specific glove. A correctly chosen A6 glove satisfies the requirement for the laceration hazards it covers — document the assessment.
