Holy sht this reminds me of something similar. I remember when I was really small like 5 I saw my grandpa take a screw driver, stick it in an outlet and see the screw driver light up. He then pulled the screw driver out and put it somewhere.

I then took the screw driver and tried to replicate what he did. I must have been touching the metal part of the screw driver because I remember getting shocked when I tried to put the screw driver into the socket. I put the screw driver back and never told anyone.

The famous dual mode screw driver. Very convenient.
