does this work if i have a rubber mat?

[TechSkillsVideos]

Not if it is not an anti-static mat.

hey, very helpful, but can i plug the grounding cable to the outlet directly, right? (the lower hole) thanks!

[TechSkillsVideos]

Yes. The wrist strap or grounding mat plug gets plugged into the ground connector on the three pronged outlet.

I have a few questions:

1) All the wrist straps I can find on newegg use alligator clips, how should I ground myself?

2) Is it even more effective to use both a mat and a strap?

3) Is it actually safe to plug yourself into an outlet?

4) If I can't use an outlet would it be effective to attach the strap to the case?

Thank you!
