I've got this wrist-grounding strap (a conductive strip of material with a wire and an alligator clip attached) that I use for grounding myself when I'm working on some solid-state stuff on my workbench (like replacing a card on a computer or diddling with an electronic clock radio).

Anyway....since I have a grounded socket strip on my workbench, how safe would it be to attach the wire of my grounding strap the the ground pin of an old male plug and then stick that sucker into the socket? Assume socket is wired correctly I'm assuming no problem....but still.

Usually I just clamp the thing to the metal casing of the power strip...but clip pops off sometimes....
