Review on πŸ”Œ Gates 90330 Anti-Static Rubber Strap, 25-Inch Length x 1-1/16-Inch Width by Daniel Warren

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Approved for wheelchair shock absorbers!

I have this for my transport chair (I'm a wheelchair but with small rear wheels). Anyone who pushed me into a chair was repeatedly and severely shocked by the accumulation of static electricity. I remembered seeing police cars with a small piece of rubber hanging from the back and realized that they were designed to be static safe because the electrical in their cars creates a lot of static electricity. When I searched the internet for anti-static for wheelchairs, I didn't find anything useful and I remembered rubber strips! I thought if it works for some cars then why not for a wheelchair? Guess what?! It does! No more uncomfortable tremors for me or my assistants. I attached it to the rear metal bar with two zip ties and trimmed it to length so no one would step on it. Best under $10 purchase I've had all year. I have a suggestion for all the car owners that this didn't work for. . Why not try more than one? They're cheap, and since cars come in a variety of configurations (size, electric, etc.), adding a second one can be so easy.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Long delivery
