Help Test your
high-voltage Gloves
Found this video on YouTube posted by Dan
Beeson. His video shows one technique for testing your
high-voltage gloves for leaks. In the video you will notice the color
orange is outside the glove and a darker color inside. This is
done to make tears and cracks easier to locate. This dual-color
feature costs a bit more.
