Brass Knuckle

Professional roofers know that productivity and safety are essential. The right protective equipment can help ensure they maximize both. Brass Knuckle's application expertise delivers PPE that serves as a precision tool tailored to your job. It's not just about material thinness, but fit, feel, and functionality. It's not just about grip, but the appropriate amount of grip. A thinner, more tactile glove like SmartCut™ BKCR2403 Cut-Resistant Gloves has identical cut protection to thicker gloves, but won't bind, wrap, or cause muscle fatigue and promotes compliance with lifelike feel.
