[Elecraft] ECOM scare -- FW: Soldering lesson

[Edward R Cole]

One other consideration,if using metal tools around high current 
sources (like batteries or power supplies): Shorting the terminals 
may cause rapid heating and result in explosions.  An exploding 
lead-acid battery can hit you with shrapnel and acid which can burn 
you, blind you, or cause death!

My wife gave me a wedding ring and I explained that I would not be 
wearing it to work (2-way radio tech).  She understood.  I did wear a 
watch but removed it when working on live ckts.
