bah...you haven't seen anything 'till you've welded something with a dropped crescent wrench //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif note, never drop a wrench between battery terminals, they generally don't react well to that.

Worst shock I ever got was throwing the main switch on the 400A service panel to our house for the first time, not realizing there were about a dozen shorts in the Romex wiring everywhere //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I was OK, if not a little shaken, when I woke up on the other side of the room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

400A service? Most houses usually have a 200A service only.

Glad to see your alright though. Getting thrown around the room everyonce and awhile is fun. I got blown on my @ss one time by a 440volt shock. I was hooking up a electric motor and the guy that was helping me swore the power was turned off. But little did i know he did not know enough to filp the right switch.
