[Elecraft] Antistatic Silicon Mat?

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.

Found on Amazon, looks very handy but is it really antistatic (ESD safe) for our purposes?
