Rewiring a Hardwired Smoke Detector WITH THE POWER ON
Someone mentioned that I should use a special screwdriver. Where can
I find something like this and what does it look like?
So as long as I don't touch two of the same wires at the same time,
I'll be OK? How can I not ground myself? If I'm on a ladder wearing
rubber-soled sneakers, would that take care of it?

Looks like you have to do this anyway so here are some advice.
1 Work with a buddy so he/she could call 911 and get help.
2 Use non conducting ladder. Ware electrical insulating gloves and shoes.
3 Don't need special screwdriver, wrap conducting part with electrical
tape.
4 Work with one hand only, put the other hand in your back pocket.
Remember it doesn't take much, as little as 6 milliamps, to go into
ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest.
