Explanation

An ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) mat provides a grounded surface that safely dissipates static electricity, preventing damaging discharge between a technician and sensitive computer components. It is used alongside an ESD wrist strap. A non-magnetic screwdriver prevents magnetizing screws near sensitive components but does not address static. A voltmeter measures electrical values. Electrical tape insulates conductors but offers no static protection.
