My college professor once warned me in the middle of a lecture to "never; under any circumstances" use a screwdriver to discharge stored current. I later told him about all of the television repair literature that I had read in my life which stated to use a screwdriver, but he stuck with his guns and said to always use a resistor and that a screwdriver was a safety hazard. I still use a screwdriver; I just never use an old one with a wooden handle like I did once when I was a kid! ZZZAPP!!
