I need help with Anti-Static wrist bands

Yeetus

I am having trouble finding the differences between anti-static wrist straps online, Are they all the same or is there a premium that I am missing?

I know that cordless anti-static bands are useless but whats the difference in say a two pound esd to a thirty pound esd?

I know you don't need one, But why not eliminate issues that could happen for not a lot of money.

The only situation that I can think of that you will require a 30 (British) pound ESD wrist strap is if you are working with static sensitive items like fireworks or anything highly susceptible to combustion.

 

A simple cheap one should be fine for PC building, but it has been proven that modern hardware is unaffected by static discharge.

 

Here is something for you viewing pleasure:
