Just thought I'd let everyone know... I bought a bag of bridge clips, used a fresh pair from a CAT 5 piece, and rewired the old block using bridge clips this time. The offending jack that started everything in the first place is still grounding out--I'll check it someday in the future when all the boxes are moved out from that corner. All else works like a charm. Gosh, those bridge clips are great. If I'd have been using those in the first place, none of this other trouble would've happened. I wouldn't have needed the tool (and wouldn't have used the wrong tip) in the first place because I could've just pulled the clip off that bad circuit.
Anyway, thanks to everybody again for helping. And I know a new block would've been cheap. If I had been a professional doing work for a customer I'd have just put in a new one to be totally sure, but I figure why generate trash if this one would still work. It seems I didn't ruin the terminals even after using a 110 blade.
Thanks!
Shawn
