How do you safeguard your lab components from static charge?

[soni2006]

Please tell me what all anti-static products are you using. Please specify brands. We are all aware about the consequences of zapping a device when we are carrying a static charge. The worst cases are where you cause damage to the device that is not quite enough to cause immediate failure, but manifests itself and causes failures later on - when the product is in the hands of your customers.

I use an antistatic wrist strap and constantly touch grounded objects, never had a problem.

When working with new components, I put them on the anti-static bags they come in.
