This brings back memories from the power plant. We had a thing called "broom sticking". On some of the bigger breakers. To close the breaker, we used a broom stick. To throw the breaker switch. If the breaker blew, you wouldn't be standing in front of it. On the 480V, 4160V, and 7,000V. We did those by remote. The 525 KV air breakers. We hand cranked them open the close. If you were chosen to do the cranking. You said your prayers before cranking. If anything went wrong. They might find a boot.

The one guy didn't make it.



This guy shit his pants.

That’s exactly what I imagine every time I go to strike my stick welder?

BOOM.......

I used to restore motorcycles. Sometimes I had to weld on the gas tanks. Even after I cleaned the shit out of the inside and purged with argon. That first strike with a tig torch was scary.
