WRYKER’s latest contractor bags bring pro-level durability and relief to one of construction’s most overlooked challenges. 

At WRYKER Construction Supply, meeting the demands of tough job sites has always been the mission. Now the company has introduced a product aimed squarely at one of the most persistent pain points in construction: cleanup. The new Load & Lock Heavy Duty Contractor Bags are designed to take the punishment of serious debris removal without splitting, sagging or spilling. 

The product ships as a box of 20 3-mil bags, each rated for 43 gallons of capacity and paired with 20 heavy-duty cable ties. For those in demolition, roofing or large-scale renovation, the combination offers more than just convenience; it offers peace of mind. 

When crews are hauling shingles, broken drywall or sharp debris, bag failure can disrupt the job and create safety risks. WRYKER designed these contractor bags to withstand the kind of rough materials that often tear through standard options. 

While these bags are notably tougher than most options on the market, what sets these bags apart isn’t just the thickness but the focus on secure closure. Each bag can be cinched tight with a cable tie that comes in the box, solving the issue of loose flaps and spillage that plague standard contractor bags. 

With a price point of $14.50 per box, WRYKER is keeping the product accessible to crews of all sizes. The packaging is job-site friendly too, with a dispenser-style box that simplifies storage and speeds up deployment. 

For contractors looking to cut cleanup time without cutting corners, the Load & Lock Heavy Duty Contractor Bags may be the upgrade that pays off across every shift. They're not flashy, but they solve a real problem and they’re ready to ship today!

Not all gloves are created equal, and the right choice delivers protection, performance and peace of mind. 

On any jobsite, your hands are your most important tools and by far the most vulnerable. Yet too often, the choice of work gloves gets treated like an afterthought. With a maze of ratings, materials and use cases to navigate, grabbing just any pair off the shelf doesn’t cut it. Whether you’re welding steel, laying shingles or loading pallets, the right glove can mean the difference between a productive day and a trip to urgent care. Here’s what the pros at Wryker Construction Supply know and what you need to know as well, before you suit up. 

How work gloves are tested 

Work gloves are typically tested under ANSI/ISEA 105 in the U.S. and EN 388 in Europe. These tests measure performance in four key areas: abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear strength and puncture resistance. Gloves are assigned a four-number rating based on their performance in these categories. The higher the number, the greater the protection level. 

What do the numbers mean? 

When evaluating a pair of gloves, you will often see a four- or six-digit code such as 4-5-4-3 on EN388:2003 rated gloves or 1-2-3-4-B-P on EN388:2016 rated gloves. Here’s what each represents by the EN388:2016 standard: 

• Abrasion resistance (1-4) – Measures how well the glove withstands repeated rubbing and friction. Higher numbers indicate greater durability. 
• Cut resistance (Coup test) (1-9) – Assesses how resistant the glove material is to slicing and sharp edges. Important for industries working with blades, glass or sheet metal. 
• Tear strength (1-4) – Tests the force required to rip the glove material. This is crucial for applications where gloves are frequently stretched or pulled. 
• Puncture resistance (1-4) – Evaluates how well the glove resists punctures from sharp objects like nails or wires. 
• Cut resistance (ISO 13997 Test) 
• Impact resistance (Pass/Fail) 

Industry-specific glove considerations 

Different trades require different levels of protection depending on the hazards present in the work environment. Here are our recommendations: 

• Roofing & construction: Cut resistance is a major concern when handling sheet metal, sharp tools and materials. Look for gloves with high cut and abrasion ratings, such as ANSI Cut Level A4+. 
• HVAC & metal fabrication: Workers dealing with ductwork and sharp edges should prioritize cut and puncture resistance to prevent injuries from jagged metal. 
• General maintenance & warehousing: For handling boxes, equipment and general tasks, gloves with moderate abrasion resistance and tear strength will provide comfort and longevity. 
• Landscaping & outdoor work: Puncture resistance is key to protecting from thorns, debris and sharp objects commonly encountered in outdoor environments. 
• Electrical work: Look for dielectric gloves or options with enhanced grip and dexterity, rather than focusing solely on cut and puncture resistance. 

Leather vs. synthetic gloves: Which is right for you? 

When choosing between leather and synthetic gloves, it’s important to consider durability, flexibility and protection levels: 

• Leather gloves: Known for their durability, abrasion resistance and heat protection, leather gloves are ideal for heavy-duty tasks such as welding, rigging and material handling. They provide excellent grip and last longer in rugged environments but may lack flexibility and breathability compared to synthetics. 
• Synthetic gloves: Made from materials like nitrile, polyurethane or Kevlar, synthetic gloves offer superior cut resistance, flexibility and chemical protection. They are often preferred in applications requiring high dexterity, like precision work, electrical tasks and wet environments. Synthetic gloves generally provide better puncture resistance than leather but may wear out faster under extreme conditions. 

Final thoughts 

The right work glove can significantly reduce workplace injuries and improve productivity. When choosing gloves, assess the risks specific to your jobsite and look for tested, high-quality options that meet ANSI or EN 388 standards. At WRYKER Construction Supply, we stock a wide range of safety gloves to match your industry needs.  

Stay protected. Stay productive. Choose the right gloves with WRYKER.

Behind the scenes with a fast-growing distributor that's shaking up the roofing industry with fresh energy, a focus on safety and a personal touch.

At this year’s International Roofing Expo (IRE), Julia Farrel, co-founder of Wryker Construction Supply, sat down with Megan Ellsworth to share how her company is carving out a unique lane in the roofing supply industry — and why safety still sits at the core of their mission.

Based in North Carolina, Wryker has expanded its footprint across the East Coast and into other states such as Texas. But it’s not just about distribution — it’s about connection. “We’re a distributor of a pretty big variety of items,” Julia explained, “anything from safety, PPE, fall protection, guardrail systems…lots of tools.” The goal is to be a one-stop resource for roofing professionals who need reliable gear and trusted support.

At the show, Wryker’s booth drew steady traffic, thanks in part to a not-so-secret special: a hefty discount on orders over $150 — but only for those who visit in person. “It’s so good we’re not blasting it out,” she shared. The exclusive offer created buzz on the floor and gave attendees an added reason to engage directly with the brand.

The conversation also touched on National Women in Roofing Day, where Julia attended a roundtable for female business owners. “It was just a room full of women who owned companies talking about the common struggles we face and how we deal with challenges,” she said. “I got a lot out of that.”

Julia also mentioned one of the most overlooked yet vital safety items: trauma straps. These compact devices connect to harnesses and can be lifesaving in the event of a fall, helping to preserve circulation and buy time for rescue.

Wryker is continuing to evolve, with new products constantly being added online — and even a personal touch on the way. “I’m working on a thank-you video for orders placed on our website,” Julia teased. “It will feature my dog.” It’s a small gesture that reflects the company’s hands-on, customer-first approach as it grows.

Get a simplified explanation of the OSHA requirements for having employees working at heights.

The stakes of construction are often high, and not just because construction projects are big investments. In our field, workers frequently must operate at elevated heights, making the stakes quite literally high. In order to keep your workers safe and adhere to regulations, it is crucial to understand standards in the industry, such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s 1926.501(b). This is a regulation that addresses fall protection and what employers must have in place to keep their workers safe along the leading edge. In this article, the experts here at WRYKER have taken a look at this regulation and broken it down into some key takeaways to help you understand it better.

Leading edge definition

A leading edge, as defined by OSHA, refers to the unprotected side or edge of a walking or working surface, such as a roof, floor or platform, where construction activities occur. It's the foremost edge of a structure or surface where workers are exposed to the risk of falling to a lower level. Leading edges pose significant hazards, particularly in construction and require adequate fall protection measures to mitigate the risk of accidents and injuries.

Key points outlined in OSHA 1926.501(b)

1 - General requirements: OSHA 1926.501(b) mandates that employers must provide fall protection for workers engaged in construction activities at heights of six feet or more. This applies to activities such as working on scaffolds, roofs, elevated platforms or near open edges.

2 - Types of fall protection: The regulation offers flexibility in the choice of fall protection systems, including guardrail systems, safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems (PFAS), positioning device systems and warning line systems. Employers are responsible for selecting and implementing the most appropriate system based on the specific hazards present at the worksite.

3 - Guardrail systems: Guardrail systems, consisting of a top rail, mid rail and toe board, are one of the primary methods of fall protection outlined in OSHA 1926.501(b). These systems create a physical barrier to prevent workers from accidentally falling off elevated surfaces.

4 - Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS): When guardrail systems are not feasible, employers must provide personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) to protect workers from falling. A PFAS typically includes an anchorage, connectors, a full-body harness and a lanyard or lifeline designed to arrest the fall of a worker. We have a full article dedicated to PFAS systems available online.

5 - Training requirements: Employers are also required to ensure that workers receive adequate training on the proper use of fall protection systems, including how to inspect, maintain and use equipment safely. Training should cover hazard recognition, emergency procedures and the importance of following established safety protocols.

6 - Inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of fall protection systems are essential to ensure their effectiveness and compliance with OSHA standards. Employers should conduct routine inspections of equipment, address any defects or deficiencies promptly and provide proper storage and maintenance procedures.

By adhering to the guidelines outlined in OSHA 1926.501(b) and implementing appropriate fall protection measures, construction companies can create safer work environments, protect their workers from hazards and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The safety of every worker is paramount and investing in proper fall protection is a worthy investment in the morale and well-being of your workforce.
