Abstract
Abstract An arm protector for mechanics or other workers is provided which is relatively lightweight and comfortable during prolonged wear. The tubular sleeve-like device covers the hand and arm and includes a knitted metallic outer layer for protection against burns or other injuries as may occur with inadvertent contact with a engine manifold or other heated objects. The fingers are positioned through apertures in the distal end of the protector thus preventing any loss of manual dexterity by the user.
