SAS Derma-Tuff General Purpose Nitrile Gloves — 6 Mil Black, Textured, Beaded Cuff, Box of 100

SAS Derma-Tuff general purpose nitrile gloves explained

SAS Derma-Tuff is the brand's everyday workhorse — a 6 mil black nitrile disposable glove built as a true general purpose nitrile gloves option. It is powder-free, latex-free, exam grade, fully textured for grip, and finished with a beaded cuff for easy donning. At 6 mil it carries real puncture and chemical resistance (SAS says 3x–5x the puncture resistance of latex) while staying dexterous enough for tools and small parts.

These 6 mil black nitrile gloves cover the whole spread of jobs: they are dependable workshop nitrile gloves, the sas derma tuff gloves line is a shop favorite, and as everyday nitrile gloves they move from the garage to the kitchen without a second thought.

Pros & cons

Specifications

What these gloves are for

The one box you keep on the shelf for everything — automotive and shop work, agriculture and plumbing, janitorial and cleaning, painting, and food service. They are ranked in our heavy-duty nitrile gloves guide, our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide, and our best black nitrile gloves guide. The material background is in our nitrile gloves complete guide and nitrile vs latex gloves.

Compatibility

Good for incidental contact with shop chemicals, oils, and cleaners; as an everyday glove it is not for sustained immersion in aggressive chemicals — use a dedicated chemical-resistant glove for that. For lighter kitchen and cleaning work, see our nitrile gloves for cleaning guide, and the powder-free build is covered in powdered vs. powder-free nitrile gloves.

How Derma-Tuff compares

Within SAS, the Raven 7 mil steps up for chemical and puncture protection, the Astro-Grip 7 mil orange adds a dual-sided grip texture, and the Raven Patriot is a themed 7 mil sibling; Derma-Tuff is the lighter, everyday 6 mil. Against other 6 mil black gloves, the exam-focused Inspire 6 mil is a direct rival, and the GLOVEWORKS 5 mil steps down. Browse the full nitrile gloves collection and the wider hand protection range organized by thickness, color, and use.

Safety note: nitrile is latex-free, so Derma-Tuff suits workers with a latex allergy — but a disposable glove reduces, and does not eliminate, chemical exposure risk. It is rated for chemical resistance against incidental contact, not prolonged immersion; confirm compatibility with your specific chemicals, replace gloves showing tears or punctures immediately, and use a chemical-resistant glove where the task demands more.

Ordering FAQ

Is SAS Derma-Tuff available and ready to ship?

Availability changes — open the linked listing for live price, size and count options, and delivery speed before you order.

What makes Derma-Tuff a good general-purpose glove?

SAS builds it as an everyday all-rounder: 6 mil black nitrile that is fully textured for grip and has a beaded cuff, tough enough for shop and automotive work but comfortable for cleaning, food, and light tasks too.

How thick are they?

6 mil — a heavy everyday weight with more puncture and tear resistance than a thin 3–5 mil glove, while staying dexterous enough for tools and small parts.

What is the beaded cuff for?

A beaded (rolled) cuff edge resists roll-down and makes the glove faster to pull on, which helps when you change gloves often through the day.

Are they chemical and puncture resistant?

Yes — SAS rates Derma-Tuff for chemical and puncture resistance and says nitrile is 3x–5x more puncture resistant than latex. That covers incidental contact; for prolonged immersion in aggressive chemicals use a chemical-resistant glove.

Are they powder-free and latex-free?

Yes — powder-free and 100% nitrile with no natural rubber latex, so there is no powder residue and no natural-latex proteins.

What sizes are available?

Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and 2X-Large. Reviewers consistently note they run small, so if you are between sizes or wear a snug glove already, order a size up.

Are they food-safe and exam grade?

Yes — they are exam grade, and SAS lists food service among the uses. They are non-sterile; for sterile procedures choose a glove labeled sterile.

Are they good for automotive and mechanic work?

Yes — that is a core use. Reviewers rely on them for engine, tire, and forklift work, praising the grip and tear resistance even after prolonged use. See our nitrile gloves for mechanics guide.

How do they compare to the SAS Raven?

The Raven is a 7 mil glove positioned for chemical and puncture resistance; Derma-Tuff is the 6 mil general-purpose everyday glove. Same brand, different weight and focus.

Can I reuse them?

They are single-use gloves from the nitrile gloves range, though the 6 mil build lets reviewers get more than one use on lighter tasks. For food, medical, or contamination-control work, use them once.

How do I reorder for a shop?

Reorder from this page — the listing and its linked item stay constant, so restocking with the same box or case from the hand protection range takes seconds.
