MCR Safety PD6952XS Predator Impact Gloves — X-Small

For X-Small-handed industrial and construction workers requiring durable knuckle and dorsal hand impact protection with synthetic leather grip performance, the MCR Safety PD6952XS Predator Impact Gloves in X-Small (SKU: PD6952XS) provide the PD6952's reinforced TPR protection architecture for 6–7-inch hand circumferences. The PD6952 series is part of MCR Safety's Predator impact protection line, engineered for industrial mechanics, construction tradespeople, and equipment maintenance professionals whose daily work creates consistent dorsal hand impact exposure.

Key Features

• TPR knuckle and dorsal guards — reinforced thermoplastic rubber impact protection
• Synthetic Leather — durable, oil-resistant grip for tools and mechanical components
• Spandex back panel — four-way stretch for hand-conforming fit
• Size: X-Small — fits hand circumference approximately 6–7 inches
• Hook-and-loop wrist closure — secure, adjustable fit
• Series: Predator (PD6952)
• Brand: MCR Safety, ISO 9001-certified
• Compliance: ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Protection

Detailed Description

The PD6952 series addresses the impact protection needs of workers in industrial environments where tool use, equipment maintenance, and structural material handling create regular dorsal hand contact with hard surfaces. The TPR guard architecture provides energy absorption for both the acute high-energy impacts from ratchet slip and dropped components and the cumulative low-energy impacts from continuous equipment structure contact during confined-space and overhead maintenance work.

For X-Small-handed workers, the PD6952XS delivers properly scaled protection for the 6–7-inch hand circumference. The X-Small-specific pattern positions TPR guards at the correct anatomical knuckle landmarks and provides synthetic leather palm coverage appropriate for X-Small hand geometry. This scaling precision is what enables the PD6952XS to deliver full protection effectiveness — guards that are positioned correctly over the anatomy they protect, not shifted toward larger or smaller hand dimensions.

In construction and ironwork applications, the PD6952XS provides the combined grip and dorsal protection needed for structural material handling. The synthetic leather palm provides abrasion resistance and grip friction for rebar, structural steel, and connection hardware, while the TPR knuckle and dorsal coverage absorbs impact from the material contact events inherent to these materials. Construction environments also involve significant tool use impact from nail guns, pneumatic tools, and power saws, and the dorsal protection of the PD6952XS addresses the tool-related impact hazards of these operations.

The flexible spandex back panel of the PD6952XS provides four-way stretch that accommodates the full range of hand movements in mechanical and construction work — from tight power grips on wrench handles to open-palm gestures during material placement. The spandex tension is calibrated for the X-Small hand's knuckle geometry, maintaining TPR guard alignment throughout the range of hand motion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hand size does this product fit?

The PD6952XS fits X-Small hands with a circumference of approximately 6–7 inches. The glove is patterned to X-Small-specific dimensions for proper TPR guard alignment and full synthetic leather palm coverage.

How does the PD6952 series serve construction and ironwork applications?

The PD6952's synthetic leather palm provides grip and abrasion resistance for structural steel, rebar, and connection hardware, while the TPR knuckle and dorsal coverage absorbs impact from the material handling and tool use impact events in construction and ironwork. The combination addresses the dual grip and impact hazard profile of structural construction in a single glove.

What is the replacement schedule for daily construction use?

In daily construction and equipment maintenance, inspect weekly for palm wear, seam separation, and TPR guard delamination. The synthetic leather palm typically shows significant wear after 4–8 weeks of intensive use. Replace when grip performance is reduced or seams begin to separate.

What other sizes are available in the PD6952 series?

The PD6952 series is available from X-Small through XXX-Large, covering the full hand size range in construction and industrial workforces.

Is the PD6952 appropriate for confined-space maintenance work?

Yes. The PD6952XS's flexible spandex back and lightweight mechanics construction allows the hand movement required for confined-space access while the TPR dorsal coverage protects against the structure contact inherent to working in tight equipment spaces.
