Will these gloves be enough protection when building on a tile floor and wood table?
gloves Also if I want to take a break in the middle of the build what precaution should be taken? Close the case or leave it open and cover it with something, etc. Thanks! |

They should do the trick. I use an anti-static band, and thats always been more then enough protection. I'm not sure I'd trust myself with gloves just because there are some tight areas in a computer and I think gloves would get in my way. But if this is your first computer and you are careful, those should do the job.

the only thing I see bad about the gloves is the fact that I see no wire from them to a earth ground, so how can they discharge anything.
you would be better to use the wrist strap. but thats just my thoughts on it. |

To be honest, I think those would be more of a nuisance than a help. I never used anything to protect me from electrostatic and have had no problems. If you get anything, I'd recommend an Anti-Static wristband.

use a antistatic strap, it wont get in your way and you wont know youve caused problems until possibly months later when somethings fails and you will assume its just a faulty part.
