MCR Safety PD6954S Predator Impact Gloves — Small

For Small-handed industrial workers requiring knuckle and dorsal impact protection with synthetic leather grip performance in a properly sized Small mechanics glove, the MCR Safety PD6954S Predator Impact Gloves in Small (SKU: PD6954S) deliver the PD6954's reinforced TPR protection for 7–8-inch hand circumferences. The PD6954 series provides the core Predator impact protection architecture — TPR dorsal guards combined with a flexible synthetic leather palm — in a design engineered for heavy industrial mechanics and construction trades requiring reliable hand protection across full-shift work.

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: Small — fits hand circumference approximately 7–8 inches
• Hook-and-loop wrist closure — secure, adjustable fit
• Series: Predator (PD6954)
• Brand: MCR Safety, ISO 9001-certified
• Compliance: ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Protection

Detailed Description

The PD6954 series is built around the Predator platform's foundational design principle: maximum dorsal hand protection in a mechanics glove that does not restrict the tool manipulation and precision grip required for productive mechanical work. The TPR guards are bonded to the spandex back panel in positions calibrated for the knuckle anatomy, providing consistent protection across the work shift without the guard migration that can occur with improperly attached impact materials.

The Small format of the PD6954S addresses the specific hand geometry of workers with 7–8-inch hand circumferences, providing full palm coverage and correct guard alignment for this size range. In industrial environments with mixed-size workforces, stocking the full size range of the PD6954 series ensures that every worker has access to properly fitted impact protection. Ill-fitting gloves are both less protective — due to guard misalignment — and less likely to be worn, since workers find improperly fitted gloves uncomfortable for precision tasks.

For heavy equipment maintenance mechanics, the PD6954S provides the dorsal protection needed for the confined-space access patterns inherent to their work. Accessing hydraulic fittings, removing engine covers, and manipulating cables and hoses in equipment bays require the hand to navigate through tight openings where the dorsal surface contacts metal edges, structural members, and equipment housing. The TPR coverage of the PD6954S reduces the injury risk from these unavoidable contact events.

The synthetic leather palm of the PD6954S provides durable oil-resistant grip for the full range of tools and components used in heavy equipment and industrial maintenance — wrenches, ratchets, impact tools, hydraulic fittings, and heavy cable assemblies. The consistent grip friction of synthetic leather across oil-contaminated surfaces is particularly important in equipment maintenance environments where lubrication is a constant factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hand size does this product fit?

The PD6954S fits Small hands with a circumference of approximately 7–8 inches. The glove is patterned to Small-specific dimensions for proper TPR guard alignment and full synthetic leather palm coverage.

How does the PD6954 series differ from other Predator impact gloves?

The PD6954 series is part of MCR Safety's Predator impact protection platform, providing TPR knuckle and dorsal coverage in a synthetic leather mechanics glove construction. The series provides reliable core impact protection suitable for heavy equipment maintenance, construction, and general industrial mechanics where dorsal hand protection is the primary hazard requirement.

Is the PD6954 appropriate for confined-space equipment maintenance?

Yes. The PD6954S is appropriate for confined-space maintenance work where the dorsal hand surface contacts equipment structures during component access. The TPR dorsal coverage absorbs impact energy from these contact events, and the flexible spandex back allows the hand movement required to navigate tight access spaces.

What other sizes are available in the PD6954 series?

The PD6954 series is available from Small through XXX-Large, covering the full range of hand sizes in heavy industrial and construction mechanics workforces.

How should worn gloves be inspected before replacement?

Inspect the PD6954S weekly for synthetic leather palm wear through, seam separation at the wrist and finger bases, and TPR guard delamination. Replace when the palm shows holes or significantly reduced grip performance, or after significant documented impact events regardless of visible wear condition.
