    People who fix machines for a living make sure they neutralize energy sources wherever possible just because. There’s no actual reason for turning off equipment before you work on it. You’ll never drop a wrench or touch something hot. Just yolo that shit, what could go wrong?

      You understand there are circumstances where you need to work live?

      Yes LOTO/try is needed when working on actual dangerous stuff, batteries, which aren’t having a current run through since the equipment isn’t on. Isn’t dangerous. Have you ever seen a forklift charging station, my god, you disconnect those live from the chargers, such an issue….

      You’ll never drop a wrench

      Leash.

      touch something hot.

      Put a blanket down.

      Just yolo that shit, what could go wrong?

      If you are taking something “apart” to fix it, I would assume the person has some knowledge and a modicum of critical thought and will figure out ways to deal with mundane issues.

        Nah you literally don’t understand why the rules are the rules and you’re a dangerous and shitty mechanic.

          You’ve never worked in some place in -50 eh? Shut the vehicle off to work on it, and it ain’t starting again. And guess what, they don’t shut off while refueling either.

          Spicy and risky, yet commonly done when needed, and perfectly safe with a few precautions as I pointed out.

          Tradesman know there’s situations where the rules are changed, if you think they are white and black, you’re not a mechanic and are just lying.

          You know there’s suits that have to energize live lines right? Obviously it isn’t done when not needed, but it’s done often enough, there’s rules and ways to do it safe. Shocking eh?

            I know LOADS of tradies and I don’t know a single one who would swap out a car battery live.

            Nope, you’re a dangerous person.

              There’s being cautious, then there’s wrapping yourself in bubble wrap. You are implying and saying here that you should unplug a battery charger before removing the dewalt battery.

              Those cautions are for the laymen’s that don’t know better, or would spill alcohol in the room and then remove the battery. Yes there is SPECIFIC cases where it’s dangerous, not all cases. You’re using them backwards. Which also, unplugging the charger would be the spark that caused the ignition ironically in that situation…
