🔍 Key Concepts

• Electrical safety when working on live or potentially live circuits • Purpose of insulation in hand tools • How current can travel from a tool into a person

💭 Think About

• Which feature of a screwdriver most directly protects your body from becoming part of the electrical circuit? • Do changes in shank length or size meaningfully stop electricity from traveling through metal to your hand? Why or why not? • Think about what electricians specifically look for in tools rated for electrical work.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which part of the tool your hand actually touches during use • Consider which option would prevent current from reaching your hand if the metal tip contacts a live conductor • Check which feature is commonly marked with a voltage rating on electrician’s tools
