Woody asked:


I need to cut some rusty bolts on my dock with a Sawz All that plugs in - 110V while standing waist deep in the lake. I will be wearing neoprene waders. What are the safety cautions?

      don’t listen to any of them. just go stand in the lake and see what happens. there’s no way you are not going to get shocked. just be glad it’s only 110.
      PS. you could use a cold chisel and a hack saw
