Helps protect your electronics from accidental electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage during repair.
Ground yourself while working on sensitive electronics to prevent static build-up.
Custom made by iFixit for "European" sized wrists. Most anti-static wristbands are manufactured in Asia and do not pass our ergonomic test, if they pass at all!

"Rapid static dissipation of the hinge ground is required to prevent voltage spikes. Simple movements such as lifting one foot off the floor or lifting one arm off a conductive table mat can change the body's capacitance by as much as 10-30%. Uncontrolled, capacitively generated voltage can reach hundreds or occasionally more volts."
