Summary: Belkin AS Wrist Band
Comment: I have used the produst many times in the PC Repair class I teach. I order them for my students. Dependable, well made, long lasting. I still have mine after 10 years of almost daily use.

Summary: Test proves that wristband doesn't work
Comment: It has been said by a reviewer on here that it's hard to prove if such a device will work, on the contrary it can be quite easily and quickly tested using a cheap household multimeter.
I bought one of these (to be fair it was a quick delivery and was very well packaged) and carried out a test with my multimeter. Testing both unprotected and then being 'grounded' with the Belkin wristband showed no difference in electrostatic voltage and in both cases the multimeter read (at that time of measurement) 32.00 millivolts.
On the other hand and out of curiosity, I thought I'd see what the reading would be by wearing a cheap pair of disposable latex gloves (the type that you can often buy with 100 in a box). The reading was 0.02 millivolts! The gloves practically zeroed the electrostatic voltage on my hands proving an outstanding method for use with electrical components.
Conclusion: Forget about this wristband and wear a pair of disposable latex gloves, it is also far more practical as there is no cable attaching you to the computer case etc. If you want proof of my claim use a multimeter and you will see for yourself. To do this have your left hand's thumb and index finger pinch the negative probe (black) and have your right hand's thumb and index finger pinch the positive probe (red), set to the 200mV scale on the multimeter and you are ready to conduct the tests.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I used to just work on my computer without any protection at all but since I saw a couple of reviews about static I just started using it just in case. Why take the risk right!!

Summary: Works Perfectly
Comment: It does it's job AND it's cheap! I've used mine alot since about the start of May. It's June 30th as of my typing this. No funky smell from my wrist sweating yet either. That's the biggest bonus. lol
