Depending on where you are, you best bet would be to go to Maplin Electonics, They have loads of gadgets/ tools.

Does anyone know if any well known places carry them like sears or walmart or so on?

Ahmmm...

I am sure that as long as you are careful, you should not need them. I heard that touching the case (metal part), the static discharges and you are safe to work inside the PC. I always do this and have handled RAM like this...simply everything that is said to be static-unfriendly.

lol things arent as dainty as they used to be ... sh!t ive made sparks off procs and ram and everything still works fine.

If you're really worried, get a cheap anti-static wrist-band. Gloves seem a bit overkill.

i don't know what stores are around you but look around, search the stores website (if they have one) and see if they have it

Plug the black psu cable into the mains, connect it to your psu but dont switch anything on. This will ground the hardware.
Then you can use a little copper wristband.
