If you are working on a computer or other piece of equipment your wrist strap should have an alligator clip on the cord, simply clip it to the metal case. If you are working at a bench doing something like circuit board work you can connect your wrist strap cord to a receptacle ground using a bananna plug which will fit the in ground terminal ("hole") perfectly. Try Rat Shack not Home Despot.

The wrist strap should already have a high value resister in series with the cord to prevent electrocution.
