Helps protect your sensitive electronic components during maintenance. Computers & Accessories

Happy with this product. It's a reasonable size, works as intended, and was reasonably priced. In a review of an anti-static wrist strap, I included some additional information about proper grounding and why it's important when working with sensitive electronic equipment. I will attach it here In case anyone is interested in additional information as this mat can and should be used in conjunction with a grounding wrist strap: Regarding the anti-static wrist strap (or anti-static mat) it is worth noting that most of the information, The straps you read about indicate that they are attached to the metal frame of a computer case during maintenance. If you're working on a smaller device like a phone/tablet, you'll need to find another way to ground it. I have a separate anti-static work mat that I clip to, and then I clip to a homemade cord that only has a ground pin (not hot or neutral) that plugs into a known grounded outlet. Caveat: I have roughly seven years experience in residential and commercial electrical environments. I do not recommend making your own ground wire, if you choose to do so, do so at your own risk. There are many different products available, some here at Revain that are made specifically for this purpose such as: B.: GROUND WIRE
