    For 50 pairs. I will use a pair for mowing so 3 weeks maybe four. A box lasts at least a year for me if not longer.

    OK, that makes sense now. Otherwise I was horrified... Like over here they are just for 49 Rupees only. Which is less then half a dollar. I usually buy in a pack of 20 pairs.

    Usually this is what I go with, (see below). Earplugs, on top of which earmuffs.

    I always opt for earplugs which has a cord attached to both plugs. Otherwise I'd keep losing one or the other. Which is extremely annoying when one is about to start work.

    Safety glasses too are a must in a home based workshop. Along with cut resistant gloves, and some type of anti dust mask...

    Hi Jelly
    While using all the electronic gadgets we need to follow all the guidelines inside the catalogue. I suggest using safety goggles while working in the woods.
