A9 Cut-Resistant Hi-Vis Mechanics Gloves β MCR Safety PD6901 (XXX-Large) Overview
The MCR Safety PD6901-XXXL Predator A9 Hi-Vis Mechanics Glove is built for crews who need the top tier of cut protection without giving up dexterity or visibility. It carries an ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A9 rating β the highest cut classification on the scale β making it a fit for metal stamping, glass and sheet-metal handling, blade changes, and recycling lines where contact with sharp edges is constant. If you are weighing one rating against another, our guide to ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained breaks down where A9 sits versus lower tiers.
The Predator pairs a cut-resistant knit shell with a nitrile-coated palm for grip on dry and lightly oily parts, and a molded TPR (thermoplastic rubber) back that shields knuckles and fingers from pinch and impact hazards. The hi-vis shell keeps hands conspicuous around moving equipment. As an impact-style mechanics glove it lives alongside our broader impact-resistant gloves range, while its A9 shell places it at the very top of our cut-resistant gloves lineup. This listing is the XXX-Large size β confirm fit against the glove size chart before ordering.
What MCR Safety Is Built For
| Task | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet metal & glass handling | Excellent | A9 shell delivers the maximum ANSI cut tier for sharp-edge contact; nitrile palm grips panels. |
| Automotive / heavy mechanics | Excellent | TPR back guards knuckles against pinch and impact during teardown and reassembly. |
| Recycling & demolition sorting | Excellent | A9 cut protection plus hi-vis shell suits debris sorting around blades and broken material. |
| Oily parts & wet handling | Good | Nitrile palm holds light oil; for heavy fluids or chemicals choose dedicated chemical-resistant gloves. |
| High-heat / hot-surface work | Limited | Not a thermal glove β pick heat-resistant gloves for furnace, welding, or hot-pipe tasks. |
| Fine assembly / small fasteners | Fair | Heavy A9 build trades fingertip feel for protection; a lower A-level glove suits precision work. |
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
- ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A9 β the maximum cut-resistance tier for high-laceration work
- Molded TPR back-of-hand protection guards knuckles and fingers from impact and pinch
- Nitrile-coated palm grips dry and lightly oiled parts
- Hi-vis shell keeps hands conspicuous around moving machinery
- XXX-Large fit suits larger hands and liner layering
- Heavy-duty A9 build sacrifices fingertip dexterity for fine assembly
- Not rated for chemical immersion or high-heat contact
- XXX-Large only β confirm sizing before ordering
How It Compares
Within the Predator family, the PD6901 is the hi-vis A9 option β it sits a tier above the A6 cut-resistant PD6951 and uses a higher-cut knit shell than the A5 leather-palm PD3430. For needle-stick exposure, MCR's A9 needle-resistant Predator is the closer match, while general impact crews who don't need A9 cut can step down to the standard Predator impact glove or the ForceFlex impact glove. Choose the PD6901 when maximum cut protection and back-of-hand impact defense both matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cut level is the MCR Safety PD6901 Predator?
It is rated ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A9, the highest cut-resistance classification on the scale. See our ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained guide for how A9 compares to lower tiers.
Does this glove have impact protection?
Yes. The PD6901 has a molded TPR (thermoplastic rubber) back that shields knuckles and fingers from pinch and impact, which is why it sits with our impact-resistant gloves.
What size is this listing?
This is the XXX-Large (3XL) size. Measure your hand against the glove size chart before ordering to confirm fit.
What is the palm coating?
The palm is nitrile-coated for grip on dry and lightly oiled parts. For heavy fluid or solvent exposure, choose dedicated chemical-resistant gloves instead.
Is this glove food safe or for medical use?
No. The PD6901 is an industrial cut and impact work glove. It is not a food-contact or medical-exam glove and carries no such certification.
What jobs is the PD6901 best for?
Sheet-metal and glass handling, automotive and heavy mechanics, and recycling or demolition sorting β any task with frequent sharp-edge and impact contact where A9 cut protection is warranted.
Can I use these gloves for high-heat or welding work?
No. This is not a thermal glove. For hot surfaces, furnace, or welding tasks select purpose-built heat-resistant gloves.
How does the PD6901 compare to the A6 Predator PD6951?
The PD6901 uses a higher-cut A9 shell versus the PD6951's A6 rating. Pick the PD6901 when you need the maximum cut tier; the A6 option offers more dexterity for moderate-cut work.
Is A9 cut resistance overkill for general mechanics work?
It can be. A9 is intended for high-laceration environments; for routine assembly or material handling a lower A-level glove gives better fingertip feel. Our how to choose cut-resistant gloves by ANSI level guide helps you match the rating to the task.
Does the hi-vis color serve a safety purpose?
Yes. The hi-vis shell keeps hands more conspicuous around moving equipment and in low-light work areas, which helps spotters and operators see hand placement.
Will the nitrile palm hold up on oily parts?
The nitrile coating grips dry and lightly oiled components well. For consistently wet or heavily greased handling, results vary β for fluid immersion use chemical-resistant gloves instead.
Where does the PD6901 fit in MCR's Predator lineup?
It is the hi-vis A9 mechanics glove in the Predator family, sitting above the A6 PD6951 and the A5 leather-palm PD3430. For general impact work without A9 cut, the standard Predator impact glove is a lighter alternative.
