1. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools- Static electricity is easily

generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring, clothing, hair, fabric,

and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge suspended

particles and cause the buildup of static electrical charges on

people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic work

mats used with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic means

for the controlled discharge of electrostatic electricity.

Anti-static wrist strap – used to prevent ESD damage to

computer equipment.

Anti-static mat – used to stand on or place hardware on to

prevent static electricity from building up.

system update, but that does not mean they are problem-free.
