Mike;
I have a screwdriver much like yours, I used it to discharge a 160 uf 330 volt photoflash capacitor, and it melted a chunk out of it. I use a wire would resistor to discharge caps now. When I was 9 or 10 I too popped the main breaker in the house, hooked up a plug on a power cord and shorted the wires together, vaporizing the copper wire into shiny metal balls, and soot.
Regards
Arran
