Tens of thousands of bolts become charged with static electricity, a hazard to the workerseven after being crushed.
When it was replaced with the antistatic TOYOTOP-E Hose and the static electricity was measured, it was confirmed that the effect was significant. It was switched as dedicated ground clips enabled easy grounding. It provided peace of mind to the work process.
