An excellent film and equally excellent reminder on the dangers of electricity. I was permitted to play around with 115 volts as a kid... I most DEFINITELY learned to respect it!
Yes although it is true that electricity works for us, electricity can at the same time work against us if we're not careful or understanding of proper safety measures when it comes to working with electricity. The moral of the video is not only safety first(always safety first) but also be aware of faulty wiring or whatnot and learn the proper safety measures when working with electricity, thank you for this cautionary but great video CHAP
Hi @RetroEli1982, excellent point! Safety is primary always. Today especially, we need to be very wary of electrical tools and other devices. We see coffee makers, toasters, etc., made over seas, with under rated plugs and wiring that get very hot. Using low grade wire and connections to save money, causes more accidents. We need to respect the current and voltage always. ; ) Thanks again for the great feedback. ~ VK @RetroEli1982
3:55 Point taken but I would think a properly grounded drill would have prevented that. I did similar once and the fuse blew immediately. Maybe I got lucky and he didn't. Either way please work safe people.

Good advice. Don't fear electricity but always treat it with great respect.
Very true!
It's Groundhog Day for poor Joel. 😂

I got shocked wiring houses, back in the early 80's...And it was me being careless everytime!
...and the days of lessor-insulated non-polarized all-metal corded tools.... Yikes.
Good video.

Hi @scratchdog2216, yes, glad you are ok. Good point!
Just like Joe!
We all need to watch the "Wild Women of Watsuiland" to Honor Joe's sacrifice.
Hi @gleaming999, Yes, and perhaps it is available in Blu-Ray by now... : )
Well I must admit I couldn't'd watch it all, I just don't have the stomach
