Yup, works like a champ for some applications.

One thing everyone here is missing is the ambient humidity.

If the humidity is high, it is very hard to screw up a circuit board
from static electricity.

If you are walking across a carpet and getting shocked on doorknobs -
that is not the day you should be messing with electronic circuits.

CMOS electronics... or things like computers, etc.. The old bipolar
transistors had a much higher tolerance for static discharge. Even
when they break-down in reverse bias conditions they survive as long
as the current isn't high. CMOS is another ball game entirely.

I like using tape to pick up dust and stuff too. But then I live in
the southeast and humidity is high 10 months a year.
