THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB

Eye, Hearing & Saw Protection

Protective equipment should be selected from the exact task and tool requirements. Read published ratings, fit instructions, compatibility with other protection, and care guidance. Comfort features deserve a look after the required protection and proper fit are established.

Eye, Hearing & Saw Protection

3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector

WorkTunes suits a yard session where Bluetooth audio is welcome and its 24dB NRR and fit meet the protection needed.

Good for Bluetooth listening alongside correctly fitted hearing protection.

Keep in mind The 24dB NRR is a laboratory rating; the protection you get depends on fit and exposure.

A FEW POINTERS

Choose with your garden in mind.

What matters most

  • Use the tool's prescribed protection requirements.
  • Check published ratings and fitting instructions.

Where the tradeoffs land

  • A familiar product category does not establish sufficient protection.
  • Several protective items need to work together appropriately.
GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you head outside

Can I choose hearing protection on connection features?

Check the required protection and fit first. Connectivity is an additional feature and does not establish suitability for the noise exposure.
