Is it useful for people who want to get rid of static electricity? For example, I always get shock, especially in the winter.

In theory, yes. But you would only be able to walk as far as the leash (which would be about 18 inches). The anti-static strap only works when it is attached to a ground. In order to receive the anti-static benefits, you must be grounded. This is only intended for those sitting at a desk repairing computer component, and would not be a practical solution for day-to-day static electricity taming. Your best bet would be to invest in a humidifier.

It will be helpful anywhere it gets cold in the winter. We use ours nearly every night (KC, MO) in our daughters room in the winter to keep the air from being too dry. Some only use it if their child has congestion and has a stuffy nose. Basically if you find that dry air during cold months bothers anyone in your household, then yes this will help when used in a bedroom or a small area.

Well, I haven't really noticed a change in the static charge of my clothes since switching to SoapNuts. I do use wool balls and an aluminum foil ball in the dryer and see virtually no static except when washing big blankets. I don't think these affect static but it seems to be more so what you use in the dryer.

I think I know why you're asking that - for static discharge before memory card or data storage. Honestly, I'm not sure, although, I have never had any sort of shock, or never had hair stand up when near it, etc. I would assume that it is anti-static, because it feels like ABS plastic

I'm not sure about it being used as an anti-static. I know that I'm certainly not impressed with it as a wrinkle remover.

Just make sure you plug into into a ground fault-protected outlet inside (like in your kitchen or bathrooms). Otherwise you may subject yourself to a significant, if not fatal, shock!

Most definitely! I used it every day during the last 2 winter and it continuously froze up on me. It only occured during moments of HEAVY labor in 10*F

It works on electromagnetic principles (lightning signatures) not sound. I have found it to be very effective.

Hi, It really isn't electric in the usual sense. It generates a very small amount of "solar" like electricity that stimulates the skin. As you use it, the device has a small solar panel that creates a micro amount of electric stimulation which is barely if at all noticeable. It does not store any kind of power. My wife has used it every day since she received it and it really has satisfied her expectations. I've played with it and just as a massage device on sore muscles is awesome! It is unique.

hold it on your hand while turning it on and move it a bit. It feels like a static shock. I'm sure you've felt that before. Your dog will certainly NOT like it, but that's the point and it's not harmful.

I don't get static issues. My hair is easily to tangle. I use the hair detangler after my hair dry. I need some kind of conditioner to comb my hair.

My suggestion would be to attach it to any metal surface of your PC case, its meant to prevent any static you build up in your body to discharge on sensitive components of the pc.

I have used my unit two to three times since I acquired it but it was only for short movie clips. I did not notice any static. May be you should return it for a replacement before the warrantee period expired. I found it very helpful in suppressing autofocus noise and wind noise while shooting movies.

It:s not waterproof and thete's always the danger of electric shock. Use with great caution and take it back inside when you:re done.

It matters where you shock them like in the heart they might have a heart attack but it will not knock them out it hurts really bad but any electricity than what's already in your body can give a person a heart attack and it is very affective and I would recommend it.

I didn't use mine very long because the static was terrible. I found them to be useless and a huge waist of money. The time I used them though they never changes color.

No one can control lightning, and I don't this static strap will increase nor decrease the chance of getting hit by lightning but, what it does is drag the ground/pavement and release any static build up so that when you touch the vehicle it will not cause a static shock.
