3MS312-1201 - 3M E-A-R Classic Uncorded Foam Earplugs - Box of 200 Pairs

Comfort and Protection for the Daily Grind

When you are on the shop floor, the last thing you want to worry about is your hearing protection falling out or getting uncomfortable. The 3M E-A-R Classic Uncorded Earplugs are the legendary "yellow plugs" that welders and fabricators have trusted for decades. Unlike softer, squishy plugs that can be hard to insert when you have gloves on or dirty hands, the Classic foam is firm enough to roll down tight for a quick, easy insertion every time.

Once they are in, the slow-recovery foam expands to fill your ear, blocking out the roar of grinders, arc gouging, and heavy machinery with a solid 29 dB noise reduction. One of the biggest advantages for welders is the moisture resistance. If you are working under a hood in the summer heat, you know how sweaty it gets. These plugs don't soak up sweat like a sponge; they stay firm and stay put, so you aren't constantly adjusting them with dirty gloves.

This box comes with 200 pairs, individually wrapped in poly bags. You can grab a handful to keep in your toolbox or locker so you are never without protection. They are flame-resistant too, which is a nice bonus when sparks are flying. Whether you are TIG welding in a quiet booth or grinding structural steel, these plugs give you the peace and quiet you need to focus on the puddle.
