Hey all, just wanted to remind everyone to wear ear protection when using drivers or any power tools. I was driving some screws into a wall and forgot my ear muffs. Now my ears are ringing like crazy. Don't be like me!

Been there, done that. I keep a pair of those foam earplugs in my tool bag at all times. Cheap and they work. Also, good call on the reminder. Hearing loss is no joke.

I always double up when I'm drilling into concrete. That impact driver is loud. Got a set of those electronic ear muffs that let you hear conversations but block the loud stuff. Worth every penny.

Back in my day, we didn't have that fancy stuff. But I still got tinnitus. Wish someone told me to wear ear protection when I was starting out. Good on you for spreading the word, Pete. And if the ringing doesn't go away, see a doc.
