Attempting Solenoid Bypass with Improvised Tool

What happens here

Without a proper screwdriver, the narrator attempts to bypass the starter solenoid by shorting its terminals with an improvised tool (a red plastic-handled tool with a metal tip). This attempt is unsuccessful, failing to engage the starter motor. He notes that he will need to buy a screwdriver.

Goal: Test the solenoid by attempting to directly engage the starter motor.
