A: First you're asking on the wrong product but this is important info so I'll answer... You don't ground yourself to the laptop or PC your actively working on. You ground yourself to something separate. Anything metal that's also grounded will work fine. I actually use the screw that's on my long unused telephone line in my kitchen. Static electricity isn't "good" but at levels you would generate that are generally harmless to hardware. Perhaps many many many years ago you would need to make sure you were grounded but people have recently done tests with a static electricity generator that's essentially gun shaped with a small tip so you can place it anywhere and they had to dial the juice way up... Way beyond anything you could possibly generate and they tried really hard to kill the system but couldn't. This was mid range hardware so results may vary but they shocked the ram dies directly when the PC was on. They also shocked the SSD, and basically everything else and the PC shutdown once but then booted again just fine. There was 1 thing that they shocked near the end on the motherboard that did kill the system (if I'm remembering correctly) but they had the voltage at levels that would take 30 people to generate. Check YouTube for something like "Linus tech tips static electricity" or "static electricity on PC components" It's not nearly as risky as people think.. that being said anything is possible and while I don't personally keep myself grounded I do make sure Im wearing shoes, never on a rug and I touch my trusty grounded screw everytime I walk away and come back. Way too many words..
Q: do you need an antistatic wrist strap for each wrist or just one.
A: Just one and it’s as simple as attaching it to your PC case while working on it.
