PSA: Don't skip the ear pro when using a weed whacker!

Just a friendly reminder to everyone out there: ALWAYS wear hearing protection when using a string trimmer. I gave myself a nasty case of tinnitus last summer from being lazy. Spend the $20 on some decent muffs, your ears will thank you.

Solid tip Sarah! I learned that lesson the hard way too. Now I rock the 3M Peltors with Bluetooth. Listen to tunes while I work and protect my hearing. Win-win.

You're spot on. I've been a carpenter for 40 years and my hearing is shot from the early days before we knew better. Young guys, don't be stupid like me. Also, don't forget safety glasses - those trimmers can throw rocks like a slingshot.

Anyone have a recommendation for goggles that don't fog up when you're sweating? I hate stopping to wipe them every 5 minutes.
