Anti static guns

Doug, my Zerostat never did work right. I managed to get it open, I discovered the two halves are not glued together.

Inside is a small cylinder with a lever connected to it. There is a locknut that is used to set the adjustment on it. I found there is a very small area in the adjustment range that makes the thing work.

In the end, I was unable to improve on the factory setting, which only works every third or fourth squeeze of the trigger. Yours may turn out differently, but you won't know until you try.

Best regards,
Dan

Many Zerostat owners use the device incorrectly by pulling and releasing the trigger too fast. If you hear any clicking sound when depressing or releasing the trigger, you are pulling/releasing too fast.

Thanks, Dan. That sounds like it. I only learned of it AFTER I'd tossed my first one... drat. My second one continues to function correctly.

Brf is correct. To function, the Zerostat's trigger must be pulled s-l-o-w-l-y.

> Brf My red Zerostat was bought back in the 80's. I can operate it fine without any clicking. Just not sure after all these years whether its got any juice left in it.
Hence, the original post.

Ebuzz, I've never used a grounded brush. My Zerostat works fine so I've had no occasion.

With a name like yours, I'd assume you'd be the expert! <:^-)
