Anti static on vaccuum cleaner
Simple question. A Bosch cleaner, works fine has the usual convoluted
plastic pipe and a metal telescopic pipeand a plastic brush on the end. Its most convenient way to be held is by the plastic at the end of the flexible tube, but on some surfaces, the touching of the metal pipe after a few seconds not doing so produces an audible crack and a nasty shock. I also have a Vax which uses the same arrangement, but does not have this added feature.. So, I know its not dangerous, and is purely static, but there hasto be a way to make the Bosh, which is lighter, work like the Vax which is big and cumbersome, and I do not really want it for spills of stuff like sawdust or whatever. And no I do not make a habit of taking up sawdust with it. I did wonder about an inward facing corona discharge pin, or perhaps a bare wire that pokes out by the brush but do not want to do something which is pointless.
