Re: Battery Safety - two wrenches on the same battery
I know for a fact that one screwdriver is enough to short a battery if the person is not paying attention. Thats why we have a black burn mark on our famed orange-handled screwdriver now. The kid wasnt paying attention and shorted the battery and got shocked in the process. 2 Wrenches could easily short a battery and shock 2 people instead of just 1.
