I finally finished my thien top hat build and while testing it out got shocked alot.
:5eek::5eek::5eek:
I am using 6" wire reinforced hose but they are being connected to my tools with plastic fittings and then the top hat is a big wooden thing that also prevents the static charge from going anywhere. If I expose some of the wire in the hose and then use alligator clips to connect one end to the tool and the other end to a ground, will that fix the problem? I am hoping to avoid having to buy a grounding kit and then looping the copper wire around my hose. The wire reinforcement looks like steel.
