Why does nobody talk about the static shock from that new synthetic padding?
I installed a whole house with that 'Ultra-Fresh' brand pad last week and got zapped every single time I touched a metal tool, which taught me to keep a dryer sheet in my pocket to wipe them down first, but does anyone have a better fix?

Read about using a humidifier, maybe?

You have my total sympathy on this, I went through the exact same nightmare with that Ultra-Fresh pad last month and kept getting bit by my tape measure. Tossing a dryer sheet in my tool pouch helped a little but the real game changer was spraying the whole floor with a mix of fabric softener and water before I laid the carpet. Still had to touch the tack strip with rubber gloves though, that stuff is just plain evil about static.
