Seriously 120 I could handle ok but that 277 hurt. Still better then one idiot carpenter on an apartment complex job down in TX years ago.   I saw him try to reset the link in a transformer with his claw hammer. If the handle had been wood or fiberglass maybe, but not a steel handle with a "cushion grip" ie, rubber with little holes in it. He was extra crispy before it was done with him. My boss had let everyone know that section would be without power for a few hours but there is always some dumbie that knows better. That whole job was cursed anyway. Several people were seriously hurt or killed on that one job site.</blockquote>
