I don't believe the mat is anti-static any more than my wife's silicone baking sheets. They claim the tweezers "adopts anti-static design to prevent static damage to electronic components", whatever that means. No wire attachments are shown for the tweezers. I don't think this is what you want for ESD sensitive work.
