Can wool or leather gloves protect you from getting shocked by 120 volts?
MattVorshaftgp6591
You should never assume that ANYTHING will protect you against an electric shock, regardless of the voltage, unless that thing has been specifically-designed for that purpose. If you want a pair of gloves to protect you against 120 V, then you should be using rubber gloves, specifically designed for that purpose, and made by a reputable manufacturer. Similarly, with tools, such as screwdrivers; the fact that a screwdriver has a plastic handle doesn't mean that it is safe to use with live electrical components unless it has been specifically designed for that purpose.
