Lol, haven't touched those in years, I see no reason for the anti-static protection, but for what, $2, I suppose it could never hurt. I would worry more about heat and dust, and the abuse of simply using them. That is where the biggest faults seems to come from.
Agreed but I read info that there is ESD damage to circuits that we cannot see. Is that true?
It should cost more than 2 bucks imo.
