Why it's important for your tools to be ESD-safe

ESD (electrostatic discharge) is the transfer of an electric charge upon contact between two objects with different electric potentials. On the assembly line, ESD can damage or destroy sensitive electronic components and even set off fires in flammable environments. Worse, this damage doesn't always occur immediately, but will often manifest itself at a later time, affecting product quality and reliability even more.
Furthermore, the ever diminishing size and ever increasing speed of electronic devices and circuitry is only causing sensitivity to ESD to increase.
