The basics of using a grounding probe.
If you need to be grounded for handling delicate electronics, you need to ensure there's a completed circuit all the way to the ground. Just clipping/snapping an anti-static wrist strap to a computer case or ESD mat only dissipates a limited amount of static. If you're handling really sensitive equipment or you're in a particularly dry and staticky environment you need to be truly, properly grounded.
In this video, I show you how to use an aquarium grounding probe to link your wrist strap to your house's wiring ground. You can similarly attach an ESD mat, or whatever else needs to be grounded properly.
