Recommend fabric ESD wrist strap that is durable
« on: October 25, 2019, 04:00:35 pm »
Hi everyone:

I'm just a hobbyist, but I've been through two fabric ESD wrist straps in the last 3 years. Maybe I wear them a little tight, but they've had very light usage and otherwise don't get abused in any way that I can imagine.

Can anyone recommend a fabric ESD wrist strap that is really durable, available in Canada, or the US?

Thanks

You can get stainless steel ones, not that expensive. More reliable and hard wearing, just watch out if you have hairy wrists.

Sorry not sure about US distribution  :-//

Thanks, but the metal ones irritate my skin badly. I need a fabric one.

Anything 3M (genuinely 3M) will probably be fairly robust. Straps are considered to be pretty disposable items though.

My first strap years ago was a 3M. I guess the "3M" was short for 3 months, cause that's exactly how long it lasted. Are there any with a warranty?

Get a bracelet and add a ground wire to it?
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.
