Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published Ergodyne specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Ergodyne ProFlex 7024 is an ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Level A4 cut-resistant glove with a sandy nitrile palm coating, delivering mid-to-high cut protection for industrial manufacturing, sheet metal, and material handling where sharp materials exceed the A2 baseline. The sandy texture grips dry and general-industrial surfaces.

Why the Ergodyne ProFlex 7024 steps up for sharp metal
An A2 glove is fine for boxes and light assembly, but slit-edge sheet metal and work-hardened stampings generate cut forces it was never rated for. The 7024 answers with an A4 liner β the upper-mid range of industrial cut protection β finished with a sandy nitrile palm that bites into smooth parts and tool handles on dry surfaces. The nitrile chemistry adds resistance to industrial oils and greases the work involves. As cut-resistant gloves go, this is the sheet-metal pick, and the best cut-resistant gloves guide and complete cut-glove guide cover how to match glove to task. It handles the edges an A2 can't.
Safety first: the 7024 is a cut-resistant glove, not a chemical glove β its oil resistance is not chemical protection, and it is not rated for a chemical splash hazard. For solvents, acids, or degreasers, wear dedicated chemical-resistant gloves selected by breakthrough time for that chemical, and see the chemical-resistant gloves guide. Match the cut level to the hazard using the ANSI A1-A9 cut-level guide β pick the lowest level that covers the hazard. The A4 rating covers slicing cut forces, not punctures. Replace worn gloves.
What the Ergodyne ProFlex 7024 listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Level A4 cut resistance; a sandy nitrile palm coating for dry, general-industrial grip; and a design for sheet metal, stampings, and sharp-material handling. These are true a4 cut resistant gloves credentials and a genuine set of sandy nitrile gloves β a purpose-built pair of sheet metal gloves.
How the Ergodyne ProFlex 7024 compares to other gloves
For lighter A2 cut, the hi-vis Ergodyne ProFlex 7022, PU 7025, or microfiber 7000; for A5 food-grade, the 7040; for A7, the nitrile 7070; and for a PU alternative, the 7030. The nitrile-vs-PU coating guide explains the trade-offs.
Choosing the right glove for the hazard
Cut level and coating are separate decisions. For coating and cut families, browse the nitrile gloves and mechanics gloves collections; for impact hazards, the impact-resistant gloves and cut-vs-impact guide; and for the mechanic's bench, the mechanics cut-glove guide. Leather options live in the leather work gloves collection.
Where it fits by job and team orders
The 7024 suits sheet-metal shops, fabricators, and manufacturers handling sharp stampings and slit edges who need A4 cut protection with dry grip. Because A4 fiber is stiffer than an A2 liner, reserve it for the tasks that need it and keep a lighter glove for delicate work, so dexterity is never traded away needlessly. Inspect the sandy coating and liner at the start of each shift, size the glove snug for control on sharp parts, keep chemical tasks on chemical gloves, and replace worn pairs promptly.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ergodyne ProFlex 7024?
An ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Level A4 cut-resistant glove with a sandy nitrile palm coating. It delivers mid-to-high cut protection for industrial manufacturing, sheet metal, and material handling where sharp materials exceed the A2 baseline.
What does A4 cut resistance mean?
A4 is an upper-mid-range cut-protection level on the ANSI/ISEA 105 A1-A9 scale, as listed. It suits sharp metal stampings, slit-edge sheet metal, glass-fiber composites, and precision fabrication - above the A2 and A3 levels used for general work.
What does the sandy nitrile coating do?
The sandy nitrile palm maximizes friction against smooth parts and tool handles on dry surfaces, and the nitrile chemistry resists a range of industrial oils and greases, as the listing states.
Are these chemical-resistant gloves?
No - the 7024 is a cut-resistant glove and is not rated for a chemical splash hazard. Some oil resistance is not chemical protection; for solvents or acids use dedicated chemical-resistant gloves selected by breakthrough time.
How is it different from the A2 7022?
Both are Ergodyne nitrile-coated cut gloves; the 7024 is A4 for sharp-metal and sheet-metal hazards, while the 7022 is A2 for lighter cut work. Choose the 7024 when the cut hazard exceeds the A2 baseline.
What work is it for?
Industrial manufacturing, sheet metal, metal fabrication, and material handling involving sharp stampings, forgings, and work-hardened edges that generate higher cut forces.
Does it also protect against punctures?
Cut resistance and puncture resistance are different ratings. The A4 rating covers slicing cut forces, not punctures; choose a puncture- or needle-rated glove if that is your hazard.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your dominant hand around the palm and match Ergodyne's size chart. A snug fit keeps the grip and dexterity that sheet-metal handling needs.
Is A4 always better than A2?
Not necessarily - higher cut levels can add stiffness and reduce dexterity. Choose the lowest cut level that covers your hazard, so A4 for sharp metal but A2 for lighter tasks.
When should I replace them?
Replace the gloves when the sandy coating wears smooth, the liner shows cuts or holes, or grip and fit degrade - worn gloves no longer deliver their rated protection.
Can I use them in oily metalworking?
The sandy nitrile grips dry and general-industrial surfaces; for heavy oil a full-dip heavy-duty nitrile glove is a better match. Match the coating to the surface condition.
How do I order for a team?
