Bill:
You only NEED to use the wrist grounding strap when handling some ICs
and some of the transistors. To be safe, I use it for all ICs and
transistors, but especially the ones that are supplied in anti-static
foam. Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are not sensitive to static
and are easier to handle if you don't have one wrist on a leash.
73's and good luck,
