Default Noise reducing headphones for hearing protection?

It's silly little things like putting a circular saw or a router down
before
it's come to a dead stop that just once in a while can take someone by
surprise, or the ultimate nightmare, forgetting that the table saw is
running
and then coming into contact with the blade..



Better to protect your hearing and be more cautious with you power tools
than to get into the habit of not making certain that it has come to a
complete stop before letting go of it. There are all kinds of noises in the
shop that can drown out the sound of a router or circular saw coasting down
to a stop. A DC, VAC and or radio can easily cover the sound of a power
tool. I learned the hard way to always keep an eye on a power tool until it
comes to a dead stop.
