Yeah you're golden. You can use screwdrivers with magnetic tips, as their magnets are of small influence, they cause little to no electrical charge. Just ensure you ground yourself proper and work in an environment with little ESD,

Plastic is an insulator.

 

Ok thanks. Sine you guys look so helpful, should I use case screw fans or the screws that came with fan?

No problem!

 

The screws that come with the fan would be best as they will work best with the fan. Although they are generic, it is best to keep with the screws that match the threads and diameter of then holding.

No fluffy socks and velvet flooring with a granny stitched sweater and you're fine.

Specs are on my profile page

 

 Teach a man to fish and he ends up sticking a screw driver in a turned on power supply seeing if it still works.        #KilledMyWifeWithABomb            Resolution is just a number

Plastic handle screwdrivers are just fine to use.
