Hello everybody

[sismofyt]

True, but unless you run the SSL/G1167 on batteries, high voltage is kinda hard to avoid there also :wink:

but there's >> "Ow, dagnabit that hurt..." << high voltage
then theres>> "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARH A FREIGHT TRAIN HAS JUST RIDDEN THROUGH MY TROUSEEEEEEEERS!!!" << high voltage.

Knitting anyone??????? :twisted:

..and preferably a one-hand experience..

This can't be emphasized strong enough:

:!:

IF YOU EVER NEED TO WORK ON HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUITS WITH POWER ON - AND YOU WILL - THEN MAKE A STRONG HABIT OF USING ONLY ONE HAND. KEEP THE OTHER IN YOUR POCKET!

:!:

This lessens the risk of discharging psu caps through your heart - a condition it dosen't like..

A must have experience once in a lifetime - but only once!

[quote author="kubi"]I should have added some smileys to my last post to underline its ironic meaning. Of course nobody should touch a charged cap! Never!
I've been bitten once. Thanks god no permanent damage. No need for a second time.

Be careful!
