ANDREA HOWARD: Hello and welcome to Quick Tips from MSC Industrial Supply, a show where we invite the manufacturing community to share their expertise with us. When the job demands both precision and protection, your gloves can't slow you down. You need grip you can trust, flexibility that moves with you and cut resistance that helps keep hands safe. That's where SHOWA’s S-TEX 581 comes in. These lightweight, 13-gauge gloves are engineered with Hagane Coil® technology and reinforced with Kevlar® for high cut resistance. Let’s take a look.
When a job involves sharp materials, your gloves need to be tough and flexible. The SHOWA S-TEX 581 is built to deliver dependable protection while still allowing freedom of movement on the job. Its lightweight construction provides agility and a natural fit, helping protect hands from workplace cuts and hazards. The closed fingertip-fitting design allows workers to perform detailed tasks with precision. Even small parts and screws can be handled quickly and efficiently.
At the core of the glove is SHOWA’s patented HAGANE Coil™ technology. Stainless steel wire threads combined with engineered fibers to deliver strength with flexibility, creating a glove that's tough yet comfortable to wear. Strong gripping power helps tools and materials stay secure even when handling oily objects.
A durable microporous foam nitrile palm coating provides excellent grip and abrasion resistance. SHOWA’s proprietary foam nitrile coating and S-shaped palm finishing process enhance surface texture for better control. Together, these technologies create a tougher glove with superior grip, delivering confidence, usability and protection where it matters most. The SHOWA S-TEX 581—strong, durable and built for demanding work.
