Electrical work & SOG meltdown
on: March 20, 2018, 09:21:02 AM
SOG PowerAssist Meltdown


Doing some wiring, and apparently I forgot to check the power.  Small explosion. Smoke. Part of the cutter melted, and there was molten copper from the wire all over. Which I sand off when hardened.  In the end, I have another insulation stripper built-in, though not where I'd want it.

On a different topic, what a difference under magnification is this SOG from my Victorinox multi tools! The finish is far superior on the Vic models.

Excellent pic. Hope you're all good mate. I would probably need some clean pants if that was me.

I've been electrocuted before. Probably why I not an electrician. The white beard looks good, anyway.

The worst of it was that I had a brand new computer on the line, and I was afraid I blew the board. As I told my wife, we have comprehensive national health coverage here, so I can always see a doctor without it costing, but computer parts take real money.

Next time I will check the line for power.

Every true electrician touched live lines sometime.

Last time it caused a blue spark and a loud bang.

I nearly wetted myself!
It didn't hurt, but the flash and bang were frightening.

Glad you're ok!

Same here, I've electrocuted myself a couple of times. The last time I did it, I wasn't sure what just happened... so I touched it again!  :facepalm:

Interestingly, there's a blast mark on the large screwdriver of my pst where the previous owners contacted something rather beefy.... I hope they were okay!  :ahhh

SOG PowerAssist Meltdown
(Image removed from quote.)

Doing some wiring, and apparently I forgot to check the power.  Small explosion. Smoke. Part of the cutter melted, and there was molten copper from the wire all over. Which I sand off when hardened.  In the end, I have another insulation stripper built-in, though not where I'd want it.

On a different topic, what a difference under magnification is this SOG from my Victorinox multi tools! The finish is far superior on the Vic models.

SOG PowerAssist Meltdown
(Image removed from quote.)

Doing some wiring, and apparently I forgot to check the power.  Small explosion. Smoke. Part of the cutter melted, and there was molten copper from the wire all over. Which I sand off when hardened.  In the end, I have another insulation stripper built-in, though not where I'd want it.

On a different topic, what a difference under magnification is this SOG from my Victorinox multi tools! The finish is far superior on the Vic models.
I am glad you didn't ger zapped too bad! It is always a wake up call when you burn a tool up or get zapped for sure.  Last year, I was swapping magnetic balasts to electronic ones at my work and got zapped with 277v, because the fixture was wired to the wrong rail and I forgot to check when I thought it was off. Nearly knocked me off the 12' ladder. :ahhh

Now, about that claim of Vic pliers being "far superior". There must be something wrong with that plier head. It is common knowledge that SOG makes some of the finest plier heads out there. The rust and corrosion on your PowerAssist pliers shows general lack of mantainance. I have attached a photo of a PA along side Vics's main two MT offerings (swisstool and spirit). It is apparent to me that the SOG plier head finish is actually slightly superior. Not too shabby considering the PowerAccess is $30 less than the Swisstool or Spirit and offers some very unique features.
Sorry to point that out, but I don't like to see claims that have no basis in fact that could be read and taken seriously by future MT enthusiasts.
On another note: try contacting SOG about getting a replacement plier head. Sometimes they'll do that and sometimes they won't(sinceit's not a defect). Depends on the rep you get to handle it.
SOG plier heads are a breeze to change out, unlike the Vic (can't swap plier heads on).

Same here, I've electrocuted myself a couple of times. The last time I did it, I wasn't sure what just happened... so I touched it again!  :facepalm:

Interestingly, there's a blast mark on the large screwdriver of my pst where the previous owners contacted something rather beefy.... I hope they were okay!  :ahhh

something similar but even weirder happened to me. I got a used MP700 with the smallest flathead all banged, burned and marked from an electrical contact. Must've been scary, and half the piece was missing.
Then I opened the medium flathead and  :o  that had big burn mark and discoloration, and a big half moon chunk missing



I reground the smallest (unusable) to an awl and the medium to a kind of decent flathead, taking so much material.
The tool also lacked the rubber inserts, which guessing by the way the owner treated the tool, must've burned to ashes upon contacting an electrical wire, together with the flathead portion(s) and the owner's hand.  ???



I bet it was his widow selling the tool after that accident... :ahhh

^+1, what I thought as well.

A multi-tool is not best option when working around electrical current, on or off. Dedicated tools best option.

Amen!

I do carry a Non Contact Voltage Ticker in my EDC tools too though for use with standard full sized tools in that pouch.
