Wrist Strap?

[Arnold F.]

Does everyone really use a wrist strap when using the Redstation? That seems impractical but I will if necessary. If so the only question that remains is which one: the Dora or Spongebob?

By all means use the Spongebob! I find the Dora to have a weak build.

Wrist strap not usually necessary - but if in particularly high static environment, probably worth taking extra precautions.

What are you guys talking about? I get the part about the anti static precautions. But what kind of straps do you guys mean?

The packaging on my RedStation warned that you should use a wrist strap when "handling" it.

That's the OP question I'd guess almost zero to none. but who knows.

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Anyone RED to speak up ? "Handling" as in everyday use seems rather impractical is that really necessary or does "handling" mean something else ?

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Any news on that matter?

BTW is that the same for the standard and the mini?
