Not terribly great [Posted on 2002-11-04] What's the point. I can get spare wire and wire nuts to ground my system far cheaper than this. i find the braided copper hard to deal with and am far happier using spare romex I have lying around the shop. Do yourself a favor and make one of these yourself.
Unnecessary expense and waste of time [Posted on 2006-12-23] Read what is said at the Fine Woodworking website (from Taunton Press - a very knowledgable and reliable woodworking information publisher) about the necessity of grounding a 4" or less PVC duct collection system. The conclusion - unnecessary. Save your money and time and instead spend it woodworking.
You can also do a Google search and find other articles that debunk this mindlessly repeated myth of wood dust explosions occurring in woodworkers' garages. (I am only referring to home-based, 4" or smaller pvc piping systems)
