Discuss Insulated tweezers any recommendations? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

We have all worked on live db’s....
the discussion here is about how to hook a particular cable among a load of live ones.
If you’re poking a finger, metal hook or long nosed pliers into a tangle of live spaghetti it’s easy to find a loud bang and an extra 4 hours of work repairing a problem that wouldn’t have happened if the board was isolated.

It would be a last resort to work on a live board, not an everyday event.

Did it yesterday, 5 mins work reconnecting up a security light.

Well all my garden lights off the neighbours CSU if I had turned it off he may have twigged somethings up. Next week I connect up the sauna and hot tub.........
