Why the MCR Safety 9188SFBS grips where others slip
Automotive and metalworking hands are usually greasy, and a smooth-palmed cut glove turns slick the moment oil hits it. The 9188SFBS is built for that reality: a sandy nitrile foam palm engineered to bite in oily, wet, and contaminated conditions, over an 18-gauge black Kevlar shell that carries an A4 cut rating. You get both blade protection and a confident grip on greasy parts, which is exactly what shop and line work demand. A slick glove on an oily part is its own hazard — a dropped component or a hand that slips into an edge — so the textured foam palm is as much a safety feature as the cut rating itself. As cut-resistant gloves go, this is the oily-grip A4 pick, and the best cut-resistant gloves guide and ANSI cut levels guide cover how the A1–A9 scale maps to real tasks.
Safety first: match the ANSI cut level to your hazard — the 9188SFBS is A4, and its Kevlar shell provides cut resistance, not a heat or flame rating. The ANSI scale measures blade cut resistance only; it is not a puncture-, needle-, or heat-rated glove, and the sandy nitrile grip coating means it is not rated against a chemical splash hazard or immersion. For chemicals use a chemical-resistant glove and for heat a heat glove. Confirm the glove against your task with the cut-resistant gloves complete guide.
What the MCR Safety 9188SFBS listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 cut resistance; an 18-gauge black Kevlar shell; a sandy nitrile foam palm for oily and wet grip; suitability for automotive, metalworking, and maintenance; sizes Small to 2X-Large. These are true a4 cut resistant gloves and genuine kevlar cut resistant gloves — dependable oil grip cut gloves for greasy work.
How the 9188SFBS compares to other cut gloves
Match the coating to the conditions: for clean, dry precision, the smooth-PU MCR 92721S; for breathable A4, the Ergodyne ProFlex 7141; step up to the A6 Ergodyne ProFlex 7061, A7 MCR 9277PUS, or A9 MCR 9273SPUS for heavier hazards. Other oily-grip options include the Ansell HyFlex 11-561, HyFlex 11-727, and Mechanix Pursuit D5. The nitrile-vs-PU coating guide covers palm choice.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard
Cut level and coating are separate choices. For mechanics work, the mechanics cut-glove guide narrows the field, and the A4-vs-A5 guide helps set the level; for grip options, browse the nitrile-coated collection and mechanics gloves, and the full hand protection collection spans every category.

Frequently asked questions
What is the MCR Safety 9188SFBS CutPro?
An ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 cut-resistant glove built on an 18-gauge black Kevlar shell with a sandy nitrile foam palm coating engineered to grip in oily, wet, and contaminated conditions. It suits automotive, metalworking, and maintenance, offered in sizes Small through 2X-Large.
What ANSI cut level is it?
ANSI/ISEA 105 A4 - a mid-level of cut resistance on the A1-A9 scale, suited to general handling of sharp metal edges, blades, and glass. Here it is built on a Kevlar shell for that protection.
What is the Kevlar shell about?
Kevlar is a high-strength aramid fiber long trusted for cut-resistant applications, and it forms the 18-gauge shell here. Note that Kevlar in this glove provides cut resistance - it is not a heat or flame rating unless the listing states one.
What is the sandy nitrile foam palm for?
The sandy nitrile foam palm coating is engineered to grip in oily, wet, and contaminated surface conditions, where a smooth coating would slip. It is a grip-and-abrasion coating, not a chemical-immersion barrier.
What jobs is it for?
Automotive assembly, metalworking, general manufacturing, and maintenance where cut hazards and oil contamination are daily realities - handling greasy, sharp parts where both cut protection and wet grip matter.
Is it also chemical- or heat-resistant?
No - the 9188SFBS is a cut-resistant glove. The Kevlar provides cut resistance and the sandy nitrile provides grip, but it is not rated for chemical immersion or heat unless the listing states it; use a dedicated glove for those hazards.
Does A4 mean it is puncture-proof?
No - the ANSI cut scale measures blade cut resistance, not puncture or needle-stick resistance, which are separate ratings. A4 resists slicing edges; it is not a guarantee against punctures.
Why choose it over a PU-coated A4 glove?
The sandy nitrile foam grips better in oil and wet conditions than a smooth PU palm, which suits automotive and metalworking. Choose a PU glove like the 92721S for clean, dry precision work, and the 9188SFBS for greasy, wet handling.
What sizes does it come in?
Small through 2X-Large, using the size-suffixed SKUs (9188SFBS for Small up to 9188SFB2XL for 2X-Large). A snug fit improves both dexterity and cut protection, so size to a firm but comfortable fit.
How does A4 compare to A5 or A6?
A4 is mid-level; A5 and A6 step up for heavier cut hazards. Choose A4 for general oily handling and step up for metal recycling, heavy stamping, or glass where A4 is not enough.
How do I care for cut-resistant gloves?
Follow the care label; many cut-resistant knits are washable. Retire a glove once the shell is cut through, worn thin, or contaminated - a compromised cut glove no longer delivers its rated protection.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
