  1. Comment on the video from one hour ago: "I did put the ESD band in our EU wall outlet. But the main fuse keeps switching off." It's already happening. Viewers are blindly following this video. Someone could get hurt. You should take it down and re-post it with better instructions, or just don't even plug it into the outlet at all.
  2. Oh wow, a perfectly wired North American outlet in a controlled environment. Most people live in homes with 50+ year old circuitry. The ground socket could be shorted or just never wired correctly. It is not a good idea to recommend to viewers (many who are young) to just plug stuff into an outlet that is wrapped around their body! If you get shocked you may not be able to just pull away since it's literally wrapped around your wrist. It seems so unnecessarily dangerous. Especially without more information like the region or a recommendation to test with meters! Like the user above said, his outlet in his region has a round plug that isn't ground. And many regions outside North America use 240v.
  3. I had to create an account to say how irresponsible it seems at 2:22 when you just plug the wrist strap into the outlet. There is a chance the ground is shorted or incorrectly wired in the outlet, especially in an old house. And of course outlets vary in different regions, at least mention this is only applicable in North America. And since the strap is wrapped around your wrist, it won't necessarily be a quick jolt. Also, the plug looks like it can easily be bent and lose contact since it's taking all the force when you're moving your wrist around putting your PC together. And even though an ESD strap is being worn, at 24:50 it looks like there is a spark when the case side is being slid on.
