Quoted Arran "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. ... When I was 9 or 10 I too popped the main breaker in the house...vaporizing the copper wire into shiny metal balls, and soot.
I have a wood auger that looks like that after hitting a hidden wire.
When I was 10, while playing with a washing machine motor that failed to start, I didn't just trip a breaker, I caused the Great Blackout of 1965! (According to Mom.)
