I'm just about to get new screwdrivers for my private screwdriving activities. Laptop, smartphone etc.
What's the difference between an ESD and a regular screwdriver? The ESD is in charge. So z. B. With the screw not around the socket or how exactly is that meant?
It means that the ESD screwdriver is insulated and therefore particularly suitable for working on live parts.
Power conducting? That would be rather VDE screwdrivers. These are isolated against voltages up to ~ 1000V.
Is not he more conductive so that static charges can be dissipated via a grounding arm bath?
Exactly the opposite is the case.
Unless you rub the screwdriver on your polyester sweater, you can use any ordinary screwdriver. The leitmotiv means that the part you touch does not isolate, because then it could electrostatically charge itself.
So ESD thinks that the thing is suitable for work in very ESD-sensitive environments…
Such environments are virtually non-existent… Any unprotected semiconductors would be ESD-sensitive… But there's no such thing for hobbyists, because they like tinkering without ESD protection…
especially since you're asking here, I think you do not need this "ESD" feature…
In any case, sockets are not sensitive to ESD…
