For a full performance breakdown, sizing analysis, and comparison against alternatives, see our SAS Safety Astro Grip 7 Mil Nitrile Gloves in-depth review published by the WC Safety editorial team.
SAS Safety Astro Grip applies diamond-grip texture across the entire inner and outer hand surface—including the palm, fingers, and dorsal side—at 7 mil gauge, specifically for industrial tasks where partial-texture gloves lose effective grip once oil contamination spreads beyond the fingertip zone. At 50 per box, the per-pair cost reflects the full-hand texture and heavier gauge.
Automotive disassembly and heavy engine work, heavy equipment maintenance in oily field conditions, fabrication and machining support tasks, and any environment where the contamination pattern during work covers the entire hand surface rather than just the fingertips. SAS Safety focuses on industrial contractor markets where full-hand grip is a confirmed operational requirement.

Compatibility and Application
7 mil full-hand texture covers the automotive fluid range. Compare to SAS Raven Patriot 7 mil for the finger-textured 7 mil alternative. For 8 mil palm-texture, see GLOVEWORKS HD Black. For 9.5 mil full-hand mega-texture, see Ansell 93-256. For a broader selection, browse the complete nitrile gloves collection at WC Safety, organized by thickness, brand, and intended use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Full-hand texture—palm, finger, AND dorsal surface—maintains grip after whole-hand oil contamination
- 7 mil provides substantial puncture resistance for heavy assembly and disassembly tasks
- SAS Safety industrial manufacturing with focus on contractor and heavy industrial markets
- 50 per box at a gauge and texture level that competes with 8–9.5 mil alternatives
Cons
- 50 per box at 7 mil full-texture pricing—higher per-pair cost than standard 5 mil or 100-count options
- Full-hand texture can feel abrasive when handling highly polished surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between full-hand texture and palm texture?
Palm texture (like GLOVEWORKS HD) applies grip only to the palm and inner finger surfaces. Full-hand texture (Astro Grip) extends to the dorsal (back) of the hand and all finger surfaces. When contamination covers the entire hand, full-hand texture maintains grip that palm-only texture cannot.
Can I order SAS Astro Grip by the case?
Yes. Cases are available through Amazon. Check the listing for current case quantities and per-box pricing.
What sizes are available?
S, M, L, XL, and 2XL. Confirm availability at time of order.
Does full-hand texture make these harder to put on?
Slightly. The texture on the outer surface can catch on skin during donning. Ensure hands are dry before donning. Some workers use a light glove liner for easier donning in sustained-wear applications.
Can these be used for wire rope and cable handling?
Yes. 7 mil full-hand texture is appropriate for wire rope and cable handling tasks. Provides no cut resistance—use cut-resistant gloves when cut risk from cable ends is present.
How does Astro Grip compare to the SAS Raven Patriot at 7 mil?
Both are 7 mil. Astro Grip has full-hand texture; Raven Patriot has finger texture only. Choose Astro Grip for tasks where whole-hand contamination is the grip problem; choose Raven Patriot when finger grip is sufficient and a cleaner palm feel is preferred.
Does the full-hand texture increase durability compared to standard texture?
The texture geometry can increase resistance to certain abrasion modes but does not meaningfully change gauge-based puncture resistance. Durability is primarily a function of the 7 mil gauge.
What is the shelf life?
Three to five years in cool, dry storage.
Are SAS Astro Grip gloves marked with any certification on the box?
Yes. ASTM D6319 exam-grade certification is standard for SAS Safety nitrile products in this line. Confirm the specific box certification at time of purchase.
Can I use these for painting or spray finishing?
For water-based and latex paints—yes. For solvent-based industrial coatings and automotive refinishing products, verify chemical compatibility. Nitrile resists most common paint solvents but not all aggressive formulations.
How many pairs per 50-count box?
25 pairs.
Are these available through safety supply distributors in addition to Amazon?
Amazon through WC Safety is an additional channel.
