Any electricalfags could explain this? https://www.liveleak

Electricity is a spectrum, dumb idiot.

Not an electric fag but Its not necessarily odd. We have a computer cart that if you touch the metal door frame while holding onto the cart you feel a current going through you. I imagine a similar thing is happening here.

THIS IS A DRILL

Your outlet isn't properly grounded.

yeah i tought so
but it works for several years like that in this building and nobody got zapped yet

induction nigger

Probably because the voltage is pretty low.

maybe your hand offers to much resistivity?

Shitty outlets. Everything metallic I touch in my home is like that. Gotta keep them feet off the floor unless zapping is sought.

Open your drill and see if the board/circuits are fucked

It is very possible that it did fail but the resistance of the metal base is enough to prevent it from snapping when you touch it

back in the day this kind of failure was a major concern. Double insulation is a major advantage to having plastic tools

>No ground
What kind of a third world shithole you live in?

>>8864739

you retarded?

theres ground, its japanese Makita tools that have no ground

just a fault to earth my dude , throw it out

I would call something like the body acting like an antenna possible. The body is picking up the waves coming from the AC lines and upon touching the metallic contact it's forms a circuit.

I base this on an accidental experiment with touching the base lead of a BJT which was enough to make the load at the collector (a led) light up. Considering how the transistor works, it may be true that the touch alone isn't enough to light up a led, but required the transconductance amplification action. The voltage at the base was something to the effect of 10 volts in reference to the ground, which was surprising.

I don't know what's the sensitivity of the testing screwdriver.

How have you guys never head of a voltage detector
