[Shop-talk] Is this thing still on? <Thanksgiving and Leaf Blowers>

[Brian Kemp]

Keep in mind than I'm specifically talking about a low noise leaf blower 
for a short period.  The specs says it is only 65dB, compared to 60dB 
for normal conversation.  Nothing like the screamer that my neighbor's 
landscaper uses, where I've put on the earmuffs in my house.

When using a router or angle grinder, I often use both foam ear plugs 
plus earmuffs.
