I always wear nitrile foam gloves for electrical work. It makes me feel

I assume this is still for electrical work rather than anything else that might require grip.

they mention such things here.

If they are wet then that might compromised the safety aspect.


Yesterday, my son tackled me and said that the foam conducts. And he can
prove it. So, we touched one of the neon testers to live, and I lit it
up, through the gloves. Slightly less bright than without the glove.
But, it was definitely glowing a bit.

doesnt really prove much.


So, I pointed out that I was standing on a vinyl floor, on concrete,
wearing rubber trainers, etc. The tester contains a resistor (although I
have not found out the resistance yet - anyone know?)

Couldnlt see it on my neon 'driver and the other one has a LED and I can;t see that either.
No info here

So, the gloves are only a bit of the resistance in the chain. Anyone
know what the gloves' resistance is? Does that reduce a lot with wear?


Could ask the manufacter, but they might be concenred on giving advice and then something goes wrong.

I'm going to continue wearing them.
