Please note: Knitted gloves are not appropriate for applications
where puncture injuries may occur. Sharp objects may penetrate between
yarns. For gloves coated in palm only, cut and puncture testing
was performed only in the coated areas of gloves. Puncture testing
was performed with a nail-like object, NOT A NEEDLE. Best gloves
are not recommended for protection from needle sticks. Cut-resistant
gloves are not for moving or serrated blades.

Note:
Although this glove tested to a rating of 4 on Puncture, this testing
was performed only on the coated portion of the glove. We do not ecommend
knitted or back of the gloves for protection from puncture since a
sharp object could go through the spaces between the yarn with no
resistance.
