Review on πŸ”Œ Vastar ESD Wrist Strap Kit - Occupational Health & Safety Product Components by Nick Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1MΞ© resistance as it should be

The anti-static strap is designed to dissipate any static electricity between your body and the parts you touch without increasing the risk of electric shock. The resistance should be around 1MΞ©, which will discharge static electricity without allowing enough current to flow to cause an electric shock. My new ribbon has a resistance of 1MΞ©, which is how it should be. It seems comfortable for the relatively short amount of time I have to wear it. Ignore the negative reviewers who say it has to pass a continuity test. Ignore the note on connecting to connect the alligator clip to anything other than the case. Ignore the advice to leave the chassis plugged in while you work. If you need extra anti-static protection, use anti-static mats.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
