-FixMat not ESD capabile
+FixMat not ESD capable

Text:

As a technician trained in and with and used ESD approved devices, this Ifixit FixMat, has a 'logo' on it saying it is ESD safe.[br]
This fixMat is NOT ESD safe, as there is no way to connect it to a Ground point/location. This is essential with all ESD safe devices.[br]
ifixit should have an ESD connection on the FixMat to connect an approved ESD strap or anchor. Until then, please just use it as a spot to place items, and make sure YOU are ESD Grounded when handling the items from the FixMat.[br]
Also connect a ESD clip to the electronic device you are repairing.[br]
FYI you can connect to a power cable plugged in, or directly to a USB female shield connector.
