If you’re safety-conscious (and you should be), you likely work with gloves and goggles to protect your hands and eyes when using certain power tools. If you’re working with particularly loud tools, you should also be protecting your ears, as long-term exposure to very loud sounds can cause serious damage to your hearing. So, while protective gear like G & F Safety Muffs may not be at the top of your list when shopping for tools, it would be wise to pick up a pair.
The safety muffs have a very high noise-reduction rating and a range between 26 dB and 41 dB, able to heavily minimize the potentially ear-damaging sounds that emit from equipment like power saws, jackhammers, and angle grinders. They also have a smart double-shell design that both adds noise dampening and makes the muffs more comfortable and better-fitting, which is especially important if you’re using them for extended periods. The foam earcups are soft and the padded headband is adjustable, so it can fit heads of nearly all sizes. The muffs are also compact, making them easy to store to carry around with you.
One drawback to the product is that they don’t have any built-in Bluetooth or other technology that can provide you with music or talk radio while you work, like the 3M WorkTunes. However, those cost a lot more money and you may prefer to focus on the job without distractions anyway. You can purchase G & F Safety Muffs from Walmart, where they have a 4.6 out of 5 customer rating based on nearly 200 reviews, for $13.99.
