Really reduces electrical shocks from dry mountain air.

I was feeling current through a metal switch plate cover, no matter what we did. Everything was installed correctly, and I really liked the cover, so we swapped out the metal screws with these and that did the trick. Just don't overtighten because they are softer and could get stripped more easily.

If your old light switches give you a shock when you flip the lights on (and you can't redo the wiring to the switch) then this is a great solution. The plastic screws eliminate the grounding point for the static, and resolve the issue immediately.

These plastic screws solved the static electricity shock I was getting when I turned off the light in my office. I read about someone else doing this and thought I would give it a try. It worked!

I had been experiencing some minor shocks at a few light switches for some time. Called electricians but they were unable to pinpoint the problem and the grounding seemed good. I had heard that replacing the metal screws on the screw plates with plastic ones might help and IT DiD! There’s screws worked like a charm. Take care when screwing them in, center the screw and do not force. I hope they work as well for you as they did for me.

I bought these screws I have a lot of carpet in my home and was constantly getting shock's when I'd turn the light switch on touching the metal face plate screws. Well, no more shock's been using them for a couple of weeks now. I bought one pack to try out the next day I ordered one more pack, sometimes when I went to flip the light switch on you would see this blue spark or a cracking noise saying I got you. don't throw away the metal ones because if I move, the nylon ones are coming with me and leave the metal ones. Best way to replace is use your fingers to get them started then the screwdriver so you don't cross thread.
