If the screwdriver has a plastic handle and you keep your fingers at least an inch away from the metal shaft you'll be fine. When I say well insulated I mean not grandpa Larry's 1910 wood handle driver that's been outside and has moisture in the wood. Adding a chicken stick to a plastic handle driver is like sticking pool toys to the outside of your car Incase of an accident...
