Yeah they are insane. I just bought an arc shield face mask yesterday. Absolutely ridiculous amount of energy

Please tell me your planning to replicate morons videos with unbiased results and correct safety.

We were warned about wiggy blowing up.
Searching the topic I find:

"Didn’t blow up in my hand but saw an engineer tap it to the primary of a 4160 transformer.
Lucky it shot past his head."

Wiggy rail gun!

"480V Arc Flash"?

Looks more like "Arc Blast" if you ask me.
I thought Arc Flash was a really bad sunburn.

This one they called Arc Flash too:

The flash is the photons (you know, what this forum is about.)
The blast is the shock wave, debris, plasma (like a mini CME)




Seems like a good, safe use.
But might need something disguised so as to not run afoul of the safety rules.

Yes, I'm aware of all of that. Electricity is dangerous, and the #1 safety rule for everything is "Don't be an idiot". I don't want to drag this thread down into a discussion of electrical safety using various kinds of test equipment, so I will leave it at that.

I'd highly recommend trying a Wera set next the slim insulation is a god send when disassembling recessed screws and they do some fancy laser etching on the tips to make them grip a screw better.

Ive got Wera Laser tip both Ph & Pz , the PH are the business for stainless sheet metal screws - its suprising that sometimes an old fashioned screwdriver will do less damage to a stubborn screw that a cordless.
