    Hi all,

    Made a Capacitor Discharge Tool from info on this site:

    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Constructing+a+Capacitor+Discharge+Tool/2177

    I have a few mods:
    1) 5w 1.8k resistor (that’s the closest they had at the store)
    2) Added the covered alligator clip to adhere to the “one hand in the pocket” rule.
    3) Zip-tied it to a popsicle stick to avoid stressing the wire to resistor solder joints
    4) Used 10g a wire.

    Questions or problems? Lemme know!

    Thanks to everyone and I hope this helps.
