Hi all,

Anyone got any high-current/low-voltage horror stories they'd care to
share? You know; where your messin' about with a car battery or
something like that and forget to take your watch off or whatever.

p.
Well there was this guy changing batteries on a golf cart.
Had 6 very large 6 volt storage batteries wired in series.
He was using a ratchet wrench to remove the battery contact
clamps and while detaching the most postive end first (!)
the ratchet handle touched the frame of the golf cart.

Ever see a Sears ratchet glowing WHITE HOT?
