A real waste of cash my friend.
Discharging is as simple as touching a metal object. All that's needed.

I'm not close to a store right now so I dont know what to touch. Could a faucet maybe work?

Yep they are :p I work on computers almost every day. Have never used a wristband and have never damaged anything through static. However they are cheap and give peace of mind.

ANYTHING made of metal. Even a door knob is OK.
