For the sake of completeness I assume I plug in the plug and it’s just using the house’s earth?

Yes! Heh, I guess I forgot that part. I should add it in, just in case.

    Haha, I thought I better check to be sure. It's such a fantastically straightforward sensible concept for a tool I'm honestly not sure why it's not everywhere vs people shorting caps with a screwdriver.

    Crimping a push fit terminal of some sort on the end would make a handy static wrist strap hookup too I'd imagine.

    Plus, you'd get to see the horrified looks on your friend's faces when they see you plugging your wrist strap into a wall outlet!
