While wearing this bracelet, there is a chance that 25-50% of the damage you take will be reflected upon your opponent.

A Deathtouch bracelet is a bracelet made by enchanting a hydrix bracelet with Enchant Level 6 Jewellery (requiring 87 Magic).

It has a special effect that gives a 1/5 chance of reflecting 25–50% of damage taken back onto opponents. Reflect immune opponents take half this damage instead. Reflect immunity is bypassed by dealing damage of the same combat style (or, for typeless damage, the player's style) rather than normal reflect damage. Should the effect occur alongside the effects of the Warpriest armour of either Saradomin or Zamorak the amount reflected will be based upon the final damage of the reduced hit, not what the initial damage would have been prior to reduction.

A downfall to this effect is its ability to indirectly damage the player by constantly bouncing reflect damage. For example, Nex in her final phase has the ability to reflect melee damage at certain times. If Nex uses a melee attack and the bracelet triggers, it will return less than 100 melee damage to Nex, which in turn will be reflected back to the player for amounts in the thousands.

The bracelet degrades to a broken state after 100,000 hits in combat; however as with all enchanted hydrix jewellery it may be recharged by 50% when a cut onyx is used on it. If lost in the wilderness, the bracelet is destroyed with coins appearing for the killer.

Once equipped, this item becomes permanently untradable.

Currently, each of the level 90 gloves (Razorback gauntlets, Ascension grips, Celestial handwraps) individually costs slightly more than the Deathtouch bracelet recharge. However, buying all three has a smaller upfront cost than buying a single Deathtouch bracelet. On top of this, the 100,000 hits typically lasts more than 50 hours, so using the power gloves will be cheaper up front, and in the long run.
