Venom Steel 8 Mil Orange Nitrile Gloves — Max Grip Diamond Texture, Hi-Vis, 50 Count

Venom Steel orange nitrile gloves explained

Venom Steel Maximum Grip is a heavy 8 mil, hi-visibility orange nitrile gloves option built for grip and toughness. Its signature is a raised, embossed diamond texture that channels liquids away and bites into tools and parts for a strong hold — wet or dry — and the bright orange color makes the gloves, your fingers, and any grime or small parts easy to see in dark work areas.

As an 8 mil nitrile gloves option it is chemical-, rip-, tear-, and puncture-resistant; as hi vis nitrile gloves they suit color-coded safety programs; and the diamond texture nitrile gloves surface is what sets the grip apart. They are latex-free, powder-free disposable orange nitrile gloves in One Size Fits Most.

Key features

• 8 mil thickness — single-layer, high-gauge (Venom Steel says 33% thicker than their 2-layer glove)
• Raised embossed diamond texture — channels liquids for wet and dry grip

• Chemical-, rip-, tear-, and puncture-resistant; liquid-proof
• Latex-free and powder-free
• One Size Fits Most; 50 per box; ambidextrous
• For industrial, manufacturing, mechanic, painting, and janitorial work

Pros & cons

Specifications

What these gloves are for

Heavy industrial and manufacturing work, automotive service, painting, and janitorial tasks — anywhere you want a thick, high-grip glove and the visibility of hi-vis orange. They are covered in our Venom Steel 8 Mil Orange review, ranked in our best orange nitrile gloves guide and our best heavy-duty nitrile gloves guide, and for shop use our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide. The material background is in our nitrile gloves complete guide.

Compatibility

8 mil nitrile handles incidental contact with motor oil, grease, and shop fluids and gives liquid-proof protection. For sustained immersion in aggressive chemicals, step up to a dedicated chemical-resistant glove.

How these gloves compare

Against the same-weight GLOVEWORKS HD Orange, both are 8 mil hi-vis orange with a diamond grip — choose on fit and price. For black at heavy gauge, see the GLOVEWORKS HD Black. Within Venom Steel, the 6 mil Black and Venom Steel Industrial lines step down in thickness. For another heavy orange option, compare the Ansell Microflex 93-256. Browse the full nitrile gloves collection and the wider hand protection range organized by thickness, color, and use.

Safety note: nitrile is latex-free, so these gloves suit workers with a latex allergy — but a disposable glove reduces, and does not eliminate, chemical exposure risk. Confirm compatibility with your specific chemicals before sustained contact, replace gloves showing tears, punctures, or degradation immediately, and verify your facility's PPE requirements for the specific hazard before relying on them.

Ordering FAQ

Is Venom Steel 8 Mil Orange in stock and ready to ship?
Availability changes — open the linked listing for live price and delivery speed before you order.

What makes the grip so strong?
A raised, embossed diamond texture across the glove channels liquids away and bites into tools and parts, improving grip whether your hands are wet or dry.

How thick is 8 mil and what does it mean?
8 mil is a heavy, high-gauge disposable weight — Venom Steel says it is 100% thicker than an ordinary blue glove and 33% thicker than their 2-layer nitrile glove. It is built for puncture and abrasion, not light general-purpose work.

Is this the 2-layer Venom Steel glove?
No. This is the single-layer Maximum Grip 8 mil orange glove. Venom Steel's white-inner 2-layer "Rip Resistant" design is a separate product; this one is a thicker single layer.

Why hi-visibility orange?
The bright orange improves glove and finger visibility in dark or cluttered work areas and makes it easy to spot grime, oil, or small parts against the color — see more picks in our best orange nitrile gloves guide. It also supports color-coded safety programs; the color itself is not a regulatory chemical rating.

Are they chemical resistant?
They are listed as chemical-, rip-, tear-, and puncture-resistant and give liquid-proof protection for incidental contact with grease and fluids. They are not rated for sustained immersion in aggressive chemicals — use a dedicated chemical-resistant glove for that.

Can these handle automotive fluids?
Yes — 8 mil nitrile handles incidental contact with motor oil, grease, and shop fluids well, and the hi-vis orange helps on detail work; see our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide for more shop picks.

Are they powder-free and latex-free?
Yes — powder-free and latex-free, so there is no powder residue and no natural-latex proteins. For the trade-offs, see nitrile vs latex gloves.

What size are they?
One Size Fits Most. Reviewers with smaller hands note they can run loose, so if you need a fitted size, compare a multi-size line instead.

How many are in a box?
50 gloves per box. They are ambidextrous, so any glove fits either hand — see the wider hand protection range for other counts and weights.

Can I reuse them?
No — they are single-use disposable gloves from the nitrile gloves range. Replace them when torn, degraded, or contaminated rather than washing and reusing.

How do I reorder for a shop or crew?
Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked item stay constant, so restocking a crew with the same 8 mil orange glove takes seconds.
