Rubber strap with metal parts acts as a conductor of static electricity between the body of the car and the pavement, thus releasing static electricity
A few inches will rub the ground, so long as it's not too deep
It is possible to attach the strap to any bolt in a car so that the end of it drags To illustrate my point, I used - For connection of the pipe, use the support bolt. You don't have to worry about static shocks anymore.
Typically used to reduce static, the ends of the straps are attached to the frame of the vehicle and drag on the road to reduce static, most commonly from construction

Static buildup caused violent and repetitious shocks from every person who pushed me in the chair. Seeing police cars with little rubber pieces hanging from the back makes no sense to me because the electrics in their cars create static charge, which is why they have them hanging off of them. In my internet search for wheelchair antistatic, I didn't find anything helpful, but then I The idea made sense to me because it works for some cars, so Let me tell you, what's happening? The answer is yes! That will be the end of nasty shocks for my helpers and me. In addition to attaching it with zip ties on the metal bar in the back, I also cut it to the length so no one could step on it too. This is the best buy I have ever received for under $10. My suggestion for all the car owners who have not seen results is this you can try driving a different way. Rather than choosing just one, why not try a few? cheap, and since cars come in many sizes and configurations (electric, etc. ), it might be as simple as adding another.
With this purchase of a static strap, I am nothing short of pleased. Due to quite a few of the negative reviews, I was uncertain whether I should actually buy it. Fortunately, I took a leap of faith & purchased it It has paid off well for me after I purchased it. In addition to everything everyone else has stated in a positive review, I would also like to add these obvious points To be effective, the Strap has to be bolted with clear contact to your vehicle's This product has been installed for over four weeks now, and neither my body nor the bodies of my passengers have been experiencing static build-up or discharge. The zap we used to experience every time we left the vehicle prior to installing this was a nuisance. Do you get what you paid for? Yep, in a heartbeat! We have everything you need, plus more! There's more value in it than it is currently being I recommend you give it a shot!.
As soon as I saw it on someone's vehicle and was told what it was, I wanted to laugh and say, "Yep, that makes sense. ". It has now become a part of my life. It's a dirt road down the street where I live. This was a bit of a stretch for me, as I wasn't sure it would work. I was able to easily install it and now I believe it. On my vehicle, I barely see any dust and I also experience virtually no static. My opinion is that this was a great buy.
Using this strap "GROUNDS" your car, so that it is not allowed to build up an electrical charge on its body. A static shock and lightning strikes can be avoided with this product. There is some belief that dirt and dust don't build up a lot on surfaces where you get rid of static electricity. When we drive a long way, we become less fatigued. Less likely to make a spark when filling up (Research Ion Effect)*. I can now hear my radio stations a little bit better That's really incredible! It is better to spend $9 to protect $100's of electronics on your car (less static). If this strap is attached to an "un-grounded" spot on your car, ensure it is properly attached. In order to prevent people from noticing the strap hanging down, I made sure it is invisible. There will be someone standing under your car and saying "Hey there is something hanging off your car!". I checked if I could connect a long wire with a volt meter. In essence you are connecting your Black Neg battery terminal to the ground (street / blacktop). Buy it! Investing in the program is a wise choice.
My mom uses a lightweight power wheelchair so I got this strap for her. There is a lot of static build up in the mall chair several times a week, because we go there several times a week. The problem didn't affect mom as much as it did me because I'd get shocked every time I touched her or the chair. Especially when she was pushed in manual mode, this happened frequently. From what the chair seller told me, there was no real solution to this for this issue. It's all true, I read a review about this product installed on this chair, and I decided to try it out. The strap was cut about three inches at the end, and I attached it to the chair with a bolt already present. I had to buy a longer bolt and add a washer to the bolt. You will no longer be shocked! The solution works! I am amazed at how well Perhaps I cut too much off the end so I wouldn't step on it? I sometimes get a slight shock when I step on it. However, shocks are rarely experienced and are very mild in nature. For power wheelchairs, I highly recommend this company.
Hill, I apologize for interrupting you. Your car has something hanging from its bottom. It has been three years since I purchased it and I have never written No static shocks after three years, no less than 100 warnings that something is hanging from my car, and no warnings of anything hanging from my car. This thing works very well, and I have no complaints.
Charges that are static can be generated by a variety of In my car, static charge normally builds up as it is driven, so I bought one of these products to dissipate it. During driving, static charges build up in a vehicle simply because of the metal body and the air molecules it brushes against and through. This strap dissipates the electrostatic charge on the body of the vehicle, and dust accumulates less on my car since there is no electrostatic attraction. The good thing is I live in a farming community where there was a lot of dust to attract. When I drove short distances, I was amazed by the amount of dust that accumulated on the rear bumper of my hatchback. Wearing synthetic material clothing, or getting in your car with synthetic material seat covers, you will actually create your OWN static buildup charge, and not that of the vehicle. We build our own charge in the clothing because we do not come into contact with the metal vehicle. Only when we touch a metal object do we see a As I exit the car dressed in synthetic clothing, I always make sure that where there is metal I touch it. By way of the ground strap, this discharges me to the ground. Despite my efforts to get a discharge from my body, there is still a small amount that I have generated for myself. Furthermore, this prevents you from blowing up at the gas station when you take a fill up. Be prepared to explain to others what you are dragging under your car like you would with other buyers.
We received these within a short timeframe. I have used generic versions before on a previous truck and they tend to break or tear after a while. They tend to freeze to the ground during the winter and then tear apart as As a direct connection, I've tested the resistance from end to end and my meter will zero Then you are dragging a wire behind you, just like you would drag a hose. I have had good results with static straps in the past, so I have high expectations for them here.
