MCR Safety PD5931L Predator Impact Gloves, Large (Back-of-Hand TPR) Overview
The MCR Safety PD5931L Predator Impact Gloves in Large are an industrial back-of-hand protection glove engineered for crews who take repeated knocks against pipe, fittings, valves, and steel. Molded thermoplastic rubber (TPR) protectors run across the knuckles, fingers, and back of the hand to absorb and deflect impact forces, while the coated palm keeps a secure hold on greasy, wet, or awkward loads. This is the protection class addressed by the impact gloves ANSI/ISEA 138 standard.
PD5931L is purpose-built for oil and gas, drilling, rigging, and rugged material-handling gloves work where dropped tools and pinch points are the daily hazard, rather than blade contact. Because the published facts for this SKU do not list an ANSI/ISEA 105 cut rating, treat it as a dedicated impact and grip glove; if your job adds blade or sheet-metal exposure, pair it with or step up to a rated option from our cut-resistant gloves range. It sits alongside the rest of our impact-resistant gloves as a heavy-duty, full-finger Predator workhorse in a true Large fit.
What MCR Safety Is Built For
| Task | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Oil & gas / drilling floor handling pipe and tools | Excellent | TPR back-of-hand and finger guards are built for the knuckle-strike and pinch hazards of rig and well-site work. |
| Heavy material handling, rigging and loading | Excellent | Coated palm holds wet or oily loads; impact shell protects against dropped and shifting weight. See our material-handling range. |
| Demolition, construction and equipment maintenance | Good | Knuckle and finger protectors deflect impact against steel and concrete; full-finger coverage for wrench and bar work. |
| Blade, knife or sheet-metal cut exposure | Not recommended | No ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level is published for this SKU; choose a rated cut glove for laceration hazards. |
| Food prep or medical / exam use | Not suitable | This is an industrial impact glove, not a food-safe or exam-grade product. |
Cut and impact gloves reduce injury risk but do not make a task safe. Match the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level (A1βA9) and ANSI/ISEA 138 impact level to the real hazard, inspect each pair for wear before use, and follow your site's hand-protection program. No glove is cut-proof or puncture-proof β keep hands clear of moving blades and pinch points. See ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained.
Pros & Cons
- Molded TPR protectors guard the back of the hand, knuckles, and fingers against impact
- Coated palm delivers grip on oily, wet, and greasy loads
- Purpose-built for oil & gas, rigging, and heavy material handling
- Full-finger Predator-series construction for rugged, repeated use
- True Large sizing for a secure, dexterous working fit
- No published ANSI/ISEA 105 cut rating β not a cut-protection glove
- Not food-safe or medical/exam grade
- Bulkier than a thin coated glove, so less suited to fine assembly work
How It Compares
Within the Predator impact family, the PD5931L is a coated-palm impact glove sized Large. If you need the same back-of-hand TPR protection in bigger hand sizes, the mcr safety pd69013xl predator impact glove, mcr safety pd69012xl predator impact glove, and mcr safety pd4900l predator impact gloves are close siblings. Where your task adds laceration risk, the cut-rated Predator A9 options (such as the mcr safety pd4900 s predator a9 hi vis needle resist gloves) combine impact and cut protection. Confirm fit against our glove size chart before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MCR Safety PD5931L glove designed for?
It is a Predator-series impact glove built for heavy material handling, oil and gas, drilling, and rigging β work where dropped tools, pinch points, and knuckle strikes are the main hazard. Molded TPR protectors guard the back of the hand, knuckles, and fingers, and the coated palm provides grip on oily or wet loads.
What size is the PD5931L?
The PD5931L is a Large. Check our glove size chart to confirm Large is right for your hand before ordering, since impact gloves should fit snugly for both protection and dexterity.
Does the PD5931L have a cut rating?
No ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level is published for this SKU, so we do not advertise one. Treat it as a dedicated impact and grip glove. If your job involves blades or sheet metal, choose a rated option from our cut-resistant gloves collection or review the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained guide first.
How does the impact protection work?
Molded thermoplastic rubber (TPR) protectors are bonded across the back of the hand, knuckles, and fingers to absorb and deflect impact forces. This is the protection class covered by the ANSI/ISEA 138 impact standard.
Is the PD5931L food-safe or medical-grade?
No. It is an industrial impact work glove, not a food-safe or medical/exam product. For those uses you need a different glove category entirely.
What kind of grip does it offer?
The palm is coated to hold onto greasy, oily, and wet loads, which is important when handling pipe, fittings, and tools on a rig floor or in a yard. It is a material-handling grip rather than a fine-precision assembly grip.
Can I use the PD5931L for oil and gas work?
Yes β oil and gas, drilling, and well-site handling are core applications for the Predator impact line. The back-of-hand TPR and coated palm target the pinch and impact hazards common on the rig floor.
Is the PD5931L good for cut or laceration hazards?
Not on its own. Because no cut rating is published for this SKU, it should not be relied on for blade or sheet-metal protection. Use our how to choose cut-resistant gloves by ANSI level guide to pick a rated glove for those tasks.
What is the difference between this and the cut-rated Predator gloves?
This PD5931L is an impact-and-grip glove without a published cut level. Other Predator models, such as the A9 hi-vis needle-resistant options, add ANSI cut and puncture protection on top of impact features. Choose based on whether your hazard is impact, cut, or both.
Does it come in other sizes?
The Predator impact family is offered across sizes. For larger hands, see the XX-Large and XXX-Large Predator impact gloves; this listing is specifically the Large PD5931L.
How do EN 388 and ANSI ratings apply to this glove?
EN 388 and ANSI/ISEA standards rate abrasion, cut, tear, puncture, and impact. We only publish ratings confirmed for this SKU; since none are listed here, we describe it by its physical impact and grip features. See the EN 388 glove standard explained reference for how those ratings are structured.
Is this glove a good fit for fine assembly or detail work?
It is built for rugged impact and grip, so it is bulkier than a thin coated glove and less suited to fine assembly. For detailed work you may prefer a lighter coated glove, while reserving the PD5931L for heavy handling and impact-prone tasks.
