Apparel & Safety FAQ
Are jobsite earbuds a replacement for earplugs?
Jobsite earbuds like the Milwaukee 2191-21 and Festool GHS 25 I are sold as hearing protection with Bluetooth audio. Check each product's listed rating against your noise level. Foam earplugs are a low-cost backup.
What does a suspension rig add to a tool belt?
It moves part of the load from your hips to your shoulders. The Milwaukee 48-22-8120 and Occidental 5055 Stronghold include suspension. The Gatorback B616 harness adds it to an existing belt.
