Ideal for repair, troubleshooting, and amplifier building, it’s an indispensable addition to any electronics workbench. ## Description Product Description (HTML) Safely discharge stored high voltage before servicing tube amplifiers.The Golden Age SnufferStick is a high-voltage discharge tool designed to safely discharge stored energy from amplifier filter capacitors before maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, or modification. Using two 56KΩ, 2-watt resistors connected in series for a total resistance of 112KΩ, it provides a controlled discharge that typically completes in approximately three to five seconds under normal conditions.The insulated probe handle, durable probe tip, and ground clip with attached lead provide a simple and repeatable process for safely discharging stored voltage. Many technicians use a discharge stick before opening a tube amplifier because it helps reduce the risk of contact with stored electrical energy.Always keep the SnufferStick connected while verifying voltage with a multimeter. Remove the tool only after confirming the voltage has reached a safe level. This important safety step should always be followed before handling internal amplifier components.What's Included (1) Golden Age SnufferStick High Voltage Discharge Stick (2) 56KΩ 2-watt resistors connected in series (112KΩ total resistance) (1) Ground clip and ground lead (1) Probe with insulated handle and nose tipIdeal for electronics hobbyists, amplifier builders, and professional repair technicians, the Golden Age SnufferStick is a practical addition to any electronics workbench for routine amplifier service and repair. ## Features - SAFE HIGH VOLTAGE DISCHARGE: Designed to safely discharge stored voltage from tube amplifier filter capacitors before maintenance using a built-in 112KΩ resistor network for controlled energy dissipation - CONTROLLED RESISTOR DESIGN: Incorporates two 56KΩ 2-watt resistors connected in series for a total resistance of 112KΩ, providing a repeatable discharge process that typically completes in 3 to 5 seconds under normal conditions - INSULATED FOR SAFE HANDLING: Features an insulated handle, durable probe tip, and ground clip with lead to help technicians maintain a safer working process while servicing tube amplifiers and high-voltage electronics - ESSENTIAL WORKBENCH TOOL: Provides a simple, repeatable method for discharging filter capacitors before servicing and should always be used together with a multimeter to verify voltage has reached a safe level before handling components - IDEAL FOR REPAIR AND BUILDING: Suitable for electronics hobbyists, amplifier builders, and professional repair technicians performing maintenance, troubleshooting, restoration, or modification of vacuum tube amplifiers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HPCMFNV | | Best Sellers Rank | #85,119 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #159 in Spark Plug & Ignition Tools | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (96) | | Date First Available | September 26, 2018 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.13 ounces | | Item model number | 1552 | | Manufacturer | StewMac | | Package Dimensions | 12.17 x 3.78 x 0.47 inches | | Part Number | 1552 | ## Images ![SnufferStick High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S5gjFVtSL.jpg) ![SnufferStick High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31lvnBIwgrL.jpg) ![SnufferStick High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41T66m5A8OL.jpg) ![SnufferStick High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NA9y6mGwL.jpg) ![SnufferStick High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Cqj-q5rbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this tool work with my 3 ton central Air Conditioner's Capacitor ?** A: Yes, it will. Just make sure to attach the clip to a non painted metal surface first. I have used it for many air conditioning capacitors. **Q: When you say High Voltage, what do you consider high voltage?** A: This is designed for tube amps, so I'd expect in the 5-750v range. **Q: I need to discharge up to 5kV, will this discharge stick handle that?** A: yes,, it has resistance to ground so it won't arc. so leave it @ 30 seconds or so to be sure, **Q: If microwave is unplugged you are not discharging capacitor to earth ground correct?** A: No, the capacitor holds a charge long after the unit has been unplugged. The capacitor should always be discharged with this stick. Very safe and easy to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Golden Age SnufferStick High Voltage Capacitor Discharge Stick Tool - Hosa D5S-6 CAIG DeoxIT 5% Spray Contact Cleaner, 5 oz. - Douk Audio Nobsound Vacuum Tube Amp Amplifier Plate Bias Current Probe Tester 8 Pin Socket for EL34, KT88, 6L6, 6V6, 5881, 6550, KT66, KT100, KT120, 7027 (CT1-P, Plate Current) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/89651419-snufferstick-high-voltage-capacitor-discharge-stick-tool](https://www.desertcart.no/products/89651419-snufferstick-high-voltage-capacitor-discharge-stick-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
