static-discharge

I need a device that would discharge static electricity from my body in order to safely work with electronics. I have looked and found some that interested me, but I don't know whether they work:

Anti-Static Wrist Strap
Anti-Static Release Discharger Keychain
Anti-Dissipative Wrist Strap
Anti-Static Rubber Finger Stalls

Which of above mentioned actually do something?

Do I also need and anti-static screw box?

screw box

It has holes that screws get put in. Will I need magnetic screwdriver to pull screws out?
