You can buy an ESD strap, ElectroStatic Discharge strap, at most computer stores, but they usually keep them hidden. You can find them at CompUSA, BestBuy, and computer junk stores. They are usually between 8 to 10 bucks. I use one. Better safe then sorry. Because I look at it this way. Its like a condom, its better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have one. I use it because alot of my work is done on the carpet, since there is not enough available safe, hard surface to work on.

i am known as the van de graf generator, when i walk, i generate so much static.

i am in the UK, and have to go through amazon.co.uk

amazon.co.uk is only doing lindy's, what do you think fo them

also what are your thoughts on the 55 piece kit

I have quite a few of them just never used them. too confining, just ground yourself.

They should be available in any local electronic store man. Cheaper too. Who cares about the actual brand..

I use a AS Wriststrap all the time. I also bought a 23.5-in x 47.25-in antistatic mat as my work surface. You can buy it here.

FOr any one I would recomend to have one as a precaution. Its up to you if you want to use it. I just one, but not every one uses one. If you dont use one, just have one hand on the case with the psu installed and plugges in, that will keep you and your hardware safe.
