    Which type of gloves should be worn when working with sharp edges and rough materials?  - ProProfs

    Which type of gloves should be worn when working with sharp edges and rough materials? 

    • Rubber

    • Leather or thick fabric

    • Lightweight cotton

    • Plastic

    Correct Answer
    A. Leather or thick fabric
    Explanation
    When working with sharp edges and rough materials, it is important to wear gloves that provide adequate protection. Rubber gloves may not be strong enough to withstand sharp edges, while lightweight cotton gloves may not provide enough cushioning. Plastic gloves may also not be suitable as they may tear easily. On the other hand, leather or thick fabric gloves offer a higher level of durability and protection, making them the ideal choice for working with sharp edges and rough materials.

    A. Coping saw

A V-tool is a chisel-like tool used for carving, a knife is a general-purpose cutting tool, and a mallet is a hammer-like tool used for driving chisels or striking objects.
