EEVblog #768 - Cordless Anti-Static Wristbands BUSTED!

Dave debunks cordless anti-static wristbands you can buy on ebay for $1. Do they do anything at all?
Controlled quantitative static voltage measurements with a surface DC voltmeter are done to prove they are 100% bullshit!
And a direct comparison with a proper anti-static wrist strap and bonding point is included.
And a bonus tutorial on how to calibrate a surface DC voltmeter.
