What the Product Page Documents
Published · Last updated
Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published MCR Safety specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this glove.
The MCR Safety 9278NF CutPro A3 Cut-Resistant Gloves are a mid-tier cut-resistant gloves option for crews that handle sheet metal edges, trim, fasteners, and small parts but don't need the bulk or cost of a high-level sleeve. The 9278NF carries an ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level A3 rating, which sits in the practical middle of the A1 through A9 scale — enough to defend against incidental contact with light-to-moderate edges while keeping the glove thin and dexterous.
A nitrile-foam palm coating gives the 9278NF its grip and abrasion resistance, holding onto dry and lightly oily parts without the slick feel of a bare knit. Because the CutPro 9278NF is an industrial work glove, it is not an exam, food-contact, or disposable product — buy it for hand protection on the line, not for clean-room or food-prep duty. Compare it against the rest of MCR's CutPro family below, and use the how to choose cut-resistant gloves by ANSI level guide if you're deciding between A3 and a higher tier.
Where It Earns Its Slot
Where it earns its slot: Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published MCR Safety specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this glove.. Everything below measures the product against that role: its honest limits, its true alternatives, and where the linked guides rank it.
Honest Limits
The ratings are task-specific and so are the limits: a cut level says nothing about chemical breakthrough, an abrasion score nothing about heat, and no glove rating survives the wrong size — a loose glove is a snag hazard and a tight one comes off. Match the marking to the assessed hazard, not to the biggest number.

How We Review
Hand-protection reviews restate ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels, ANSI/ISEA 138 impact levels, and mil thicknesses exactly as each listing states them — never inferred from appearance or price. Where a listing claims no level, the review says so and treats the glove as unrated for that hazard. Ratings reflect documented spec, configuration, and value — the basis is stated, not invented testing.
