Description of High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool SnufferStick Golden Age

Safely discharge high voltage when working on amps. Clip the SnufferStick to the chassis for ground, and then hold the tip to your filter caps to discharge dangerous high voltage present when you turn off your amp. We highly recommend using a meter to measure the voltage while you have the discharge stick in place. The SnufferStick will safely discharge the high voltage supply within three to five seconds - only remove the stick when the voltage is completely drained. Included are two 56K, 2-watt resistors in series with the nose probe and ground wire (112K total)

Felt confident using this to discharge mv capacitor

Love this little gizmo. Decided to repair our 10 year old GE microwave because it stopped heating. Did extensive research ( YouTube University) to learn how to safely discharge the capacitor and came upon this tool. Easy peasy. Worked as described.

Pros
  • Safely discharge high voltage when working on amps
Cons
  • The tool may consume a lot of battery power, requiring frequent replacements and increasing overall expenses

A Shocking Review best in my review

I do a lot of work on audio, ham radio, and electronic equipment. This tool is a seat belt for my work bench. I have lived through bad accidents in which a seat belt saved my life and this tool is as necessary as a seat belt. That lethal shock, that deadly voltage, is there hiding and waiting to kill you. One instant and you are dead. You won't know what hit you. Make sure you have this "chicken stick" and use it before you touch anything, no matter how long it has been unplugged. Buy it. Use…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • The price tag for this tool is relatively high, making it inaccessible to many people
