Anti static wrist bands

[anaphylaxus]

Hi

Was wondering if anyone knows of any retailers in the Cape Town area that carry anti static wrist bands? I know I can find one online, but I'd like to know if there's anywhere I can just walk in and pick one up?

Hamrads and Communica used to stock them

Why...?

Paranoia, mostly.

Building a new pc. I know to just plug in the psu and touch the chassis every so often, but wrist band seems like a good idea.

If another person comes with this A-S crap im going to take a keyboard and facewrap him with it.

Now that that is out of my system. OP just wear a decent set of anti-static safety boots. is good enough.

Don't forget, you have to shave all your body hair as well

Couple of beers seems to work.

True. Do you remember the difference between Zinging and Zapping a board?
