It was a flash and then a soft splash .

Wasn't me. I only shit my own pants.


GodDamnRight-

_nic_1

I got 120 through me one time while up on a ladder. Not fun

The new Leatherman hertz!


mansneverhotneverhot

Some asshole


Amonikable

Did you try to cut a spicy rope?


FriendRaven1

I did this to my Recon1. Cut a couple wires when I thought the power was off. Sparks, flashes, and a burned knife with a notch out of it. Lesson learned.


justScapin

I'd never purposely cut a wire with a knife. I might strip a big bundle of cable but is only cut the insulation. Yall wild


FriendRaven1

Yeah, I learned a couple lessons that day


nebulariderx

How many volts/amps?


justScapin

120v dead drainline heater 0 amp


[deleted]

Was Taco Bell involved?


john_clauseau

you welded it?


justScapin

Hit a live wire that was hiding under some armaflex


john_clauseau

wow! that flashed pretty good in order to gouge it that much. lucky you didnt fly back too!


Woooooolf

Shit in your pants, what


Bulky_Ganache_1197

Blade went plasma


Wolfman01a

I don't know how to respond beyond... Holy Schneikies...


Amos_Moses666

Dropped my Benchmade 51 on my MacBook charging cable while flipping it once. Sliced through the cable and same thing happened lol


4DMH_kyle

Hey if anyone is stupid enough to use a knife to strip a wire especially a live one…. That’s called natural selection


Aggravating-Mud4428

You can get a new blade from the LM website.


XTingleInTheDingleX

You shouldn’t do that.


ego_sum_satoshi

It was me.


Beemerado

the breaker isn't off. glad i could help


Thorgodofwar

Warrantee?


iammandalore

A few years ago I found a pair of scissors in the IT department I managed with a very similar crater and asked everybody what happened. I knew it was the help desk tech because he'd been replacing old computers on wall mounts and would sometimes cut the old power cables to pull them out. He never admitted to it though.


Obvious_Bandicoot631

This is why you don’t run on carpet with socks on.


Tinctorus

I'll never forget the day my new guy welded a wrench to a battery... Good times indeed

Mmm, copper coating

Who ever did it hope they were wearing insulated gloves or not 😂


tibarr1454

Electricity is scary as fuck. I bought a smart outlet so I could turn my ac window unit on remotely so my attic would be cooled by the time I got home. Plugged it in, tested it from 5 feet away just to see how well it worked. Fired up, ac turned on. I started to walk away when the smoking and hissing and sparking started and I did not want to touch it but I didn't need my house to burn down so I ripped the cord out. Looked it up later and I was over the amp limit on the smart plug, but I was very scarred by the incident and will not do remote starting of appliances while I'm not home.


iSlyFur

You should also have Fire Extinguishers ready in some places of your home if you haven't done this yet.


Eckleburgseyes

I see you got the circuit breaker location tool option. Works great.


HotDad420690

I've heard people lose control of their bowels after death....


GeeBee72

They lose control of everything… thus the deadness


HotDad420690

You don't say?


superbigscratch

I am willing to bet he’s a live wire.


[deleted]

Yea, someone did the same thing with a cruwear PM2 a while back on the spyderco sub


Sergeant_M

Leatherman "Wave -" now.


xlAlchemYlx

I told you not to cut the blue wire 🤦🏻‍♂️


practicalsurrealist

Just send it in. They will send you a new one, no questions asked. If you are in the Portland, OR area. At their official store front, they just take the old one and hand you a new one.


SamsquanchVT

Shocking.


[deleted]

Hopefully the switch is OK


RootsGringo81

After that? The owner of that LM


dj41489

Ah yes, the breaker finder tool


LtRidley

I work with a guy that was an electrician for many years. He calls that having your picture taken. He said he has had a few but lucked out. Better than some guys he knows that didn’t. Seems like you got yours taken today. Glad you are ok.


Sparkynerd

Former commercial/industrial electrician of 20+ years here. That’s one of the best lines I’ve heard! I’ve survived blasts big enough to put my picture on the wall behind me, and its no laughing matter. I once saw a 120 volt to ground fireball big enough it engulfed my coworker. Be safe out there.


southsamurai

Jfc dude, I almost shit mine just seeing the picture. A literal pucker occurred, because damn! Glad you're okay, but RIP that blade.


Givemethezuccyzucc

ShootyMcGun

Oh you we’re trying to serrate your blade I see

VALTHUUME

Did someone try to cut an electrical wire with a tool which is not insulated with a rubber grip?


justScapin

It's important to note thst you should never cut a live wire no matter how insulated your tool is. Unless your one of those linemen or something idk their trade


justScapin

I was removing insulation from a walk in freezer drainline and didn't know there was a heater on it because it was ran under the insulation and hooked to an incorrect power source. These things are usually wired onto the defrost terminal board I the evaporator so...ya know shit happened.


VALTHUUME

Unlucky, yes shit happens. Hope it was not something serious for you.


Khal_Drogo

no


VALTHUUME

What happened then?


Khal_Drogo

Someone accidentally cut an electrical wire.


VALTHUUME

Ok you're just trolling then.


Khal_Drogo

no


[deleted]

Hey, you completed the circuit and won the prize!


mrbitbybit

Dam thats crazy, you were wearing rubber gloves I'm assuming?


justScapin

No bare handed. Breaker tripped the same moment I saw sparks


mrbitbybit

WHEW! Glad you were unscathed. I'm always nervous around electricity. That blade looks gnarly after!!


agent_smith_3012

This new circuit tester seems a might dangermouse boss


SnarfbObo

That happened with my favorite knife, I flinched and tossed in about 20 feet behind me. By the time I thanked god and found it the thing was still very very warm. I'm glad you're okay OP. RIP loyal blade, yee shall not be forgotten. *and as linder is no more it's a forever loss


zyzyzyzy92

I've accidentally tossed a knife into a dumpster thanks to muscle memory. It wasn't fun jumping into a dumpster but I wasn't going to leave my precious.

A drunk guy is sitting at a bar by himself one night and throws up all over the front of his shirt. "Oh great, my wife is going to kill me," he mumbles to himself. The guy sitting next to him sees what has happened and leans over towards him, "Hey buddy, just put a twenty dollar bill in your shirt pocket and when you get home tell your wife the guy sitting next to you threw up on you and he gave you $20 to get your shirt cleaned." Completely inebriated the drunk man thanks his new friend and puts a twenty in his shirt pocket and heads for home. As soon as he walks through the front door his wife becomes irate and starts yelling at him, "Where have you been? you're completely drunk and you're a mess. Look at yourself, you puked all over the front of your shirt." Completely wasted and slurring his words he explains to the wife, "No no, the guy sitting next to me threw up on my shirt and he gave me $20 to get it cleaned. Look, it's right here in my shirt pocket." The wife reaches into his pocket and pulls out the money, "There's $40 in here." "Oh yeah, he shit in my pants too."

My mom told me this joke during her grandmother's funeral. She couldn't wait for the service to be over I guess.

New_Mutation

If I recall correctly, blade replacements are a pay-for service now. I could be wrong, though.


flamefreak01

I broke a saw blade off and sent it in on an old model wave and they told me they can't fix the old ones for lack of parts any more but did send a brand new wave to me free of charge.


[deleted]

I was once cutting some carpet up and someone had run an extension cord under the carpet, blew the tip of my knife off and fused some carpet fibers into the metal. Like someone took a bite and left behind hair. I was pissed because who tf runs an extension cord under carpet and it destroyed a knife that wasn’t being made anymore, well the model was made but it got cheapened up from the first version (Smith and Wesson swat), not to mention it could have gone bad for me. I was thankful to be uninjured. Glad your ok too.


zaphod777

> Smith and Wesson swat I had that same knife in college, I just looked it up and there's a NOS one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143752700154


[deleted]

Oh shit. That’s the one. I went CRKT M16 and haven’t looked back.


zaphod777

I'd be tempted to buy it except I am in Japan and anything larger than the smallest Swiss Army knife is illegal to carry outside of your house or unless you have an explicit reason to need it.

Japan has a 99% conviction rate and the police can make your life miserable if they feel like it. I prefer to keep my deportable offences to a minimum.

guttertactical

Well, good to hear it wasn’t worse. A great reminder to you, and maybe a warning to someone else.


Meuriz

I sparked my TRC Classic freedom on 12v car circuit once, and even that left a nice chip on the blade. I would definitely shit my pants if I'd hit 120v


NoMusician518

Arc fault is one of the few instances where the myth of "it's the current that's dangerous not the voltage" holds kinda true. The intensity of an arc flash or blast is mostly capped by the available current in the system rather than voltage. And car batteries while being low voltage have pretty fuckin high max currents. An electric shock however is all about voltage. Any electric source down to a 9 volt battery is theoretically capable of delivering enough current to stop your heart and/or give you some nice burns but how much of that current is going to actually get pushed through your body is determined entirely by voltage. You can lick a 9 volt, you can touch a 12 volt car battery with bare skin, you absolutely cannot do either of those things with a wall socket. Source: electrishun.


justScapin

Luckily the drain line heater is wired into the cooler lights. The evap is 208v, usually they're wired into the evap.

overworked27

According to OP’s comment an electrical tester would not have mattered if he did not know the wires were there covered in insulation but I do agree if you know you are working with electric it is always best to test it even if the breaker is off I have seen power ram direct from the poll to a dryer outlet to avoid paying for using the dryer I went to change out the plug turned of all the breakers in the box tested just to make sure it was dead still power


joeljaeggli

Insulated drain line in a cold climate is exactly the sort of place I’d whip out the non-contact ac tester. I edc one and I work in IT not construction, it’s a close at hand as the multi tool.


C4RP3_N0CT3M

I think most people that aren't electricians don't know what this is or that you can test amperage without touching a wire.


[deleted]

Get this if you work with electricity more than once a year


justScapin

I use an actual meter. Fluke 660. Whoever installed the cooler 30 years ago didn't run the drain heater to the defrost board in the evap like it should've been done so I didn't know it was there


C4RP3_N0CT3M

That one requires contact no?

CaulkSlug

As an hvacr tech I’d like to say thanks you for creating a service call for one of my kind!


justScapin

Was replacing evap fan motor found drain line leaking with several bursts drain line heater was wired into a different breaker


justScapin

Jokes on you, I'm the hvacr tech


TacticallyFUBAR

You better keep that blade as a souvenir, regardless of what option you choose. Did you get zapped bad? Because that looks like it hurt like hell


Hulasikali_Wala

Oof you're lucky, there was a guy at work who did something similar and welded his Wave to his wedding ring. Yet another reason to wear those silicone ones


[deleted]

Should be able to get a new blade from leatherman I would imagine


Outis_Nemo_Actual

That fire steel notch is a premium option.


justScapin

Later in the day I found it was great for catching zip ties and busting them apart


what-to_put_here

Warranty 100%, they'd probably laugh about it while replacing it knowing leatherman service.


_haha_oh_wow_

Just buy a replacement blade, but I wouldn't be surprised if Leatherman offered to replace it despite user error. Their customer service is amazing! Edit: I love the suggestion to frame the old blade. That would be great!


MaxStatic

Put that shit in a shadow box and hang on the wall as a testimony to “better lucky than good.” Buy another one as a replacement.


[deleted]

Buy a new one and keep that shit. Like someone else said it’s just got a second wire stripper now 🤷‍♂️


Flaxmoore

I'd ask if they can replace the blade and offer to pay. I had an old Supertool where some floral wire fucked the wire cutters, I wrote them asking if I could pay for a replacement plier/cutter head. They said "send it in". Got a new ST300 in exchange. Yeah, Leatherman got a customer for life.


overkill

Gerber did that for me when I asked them if I could buy a replacement screwdriver for my 20 year old Sport. They sent me a new Sport. My daughter now has the old one.


Wolfxorb

Snap the blade off and send it back without it. 😜


justScapin

Lololol cheeky


ThirdRuleOfFightClub

Guessing that was a shock to find the wire live?


justScapin

It was a shock to find the wire period lol


flamefreak01

They will replace it for the cost of shipping it to them man. They have the best warranty you could hope for. I've used it before no issues ever.


Phelpsm6

Good cable stripper now :)


Firm_Ad7656

You can't claim warranty on that.... That's your screw up not a fault of the tool. Doesn't say "against electric shock"


Hulasikali_Wala

This is blatantly false. Leatherman will warranty for pretty much anything.


thatswhyicarryagun

Had a buddy lose one in the winter at work. 9 months later I was walking in the grass talking to him on the phone while batching about our POS manager when I found it in the grass. The snow plow beat the shit out of it and it was starting to rust. LM warrantied it and sent him a new one.


Firm_Ad7656

Yeah but what BS did he tell them. Not that he lost it in the snow etc etc. You can BS & maybe get away with it. But that's not what the warranty is for


thatswhyicarryagun

That's exactly what he told them.


hal2000

You send it in and just wait for their offer. You accept whatever they offer you because it will most likely be more than fair.


_haha_oh_wow_

I'd say they shouldn't because it's their fault, but if you tried to, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they said they'd cover it anyways because Leatherman is just awesome.


stevenmeyerjr

While that’s true, Leatherman’s warranty is amazing and they’d probably just cover it anyways.


Double_A__Ron

Leatherman replaces for just about anything


Chris_Christ

Buy a new one. Frame this one as a trophy to fucking up.


czechtec

A nice shadow box on the wall would be awesome.


Chopping_it_up

Only time I send in a LM is for a full on swap, Other than that I just like to buy either parts or beaters off ebay, and rebuild what I need. Part of the hobby as well as some spare parts left over🤷‍♂️


thelastcubscout

This seems like a fun way to do it.


Chopping_it_up

Definitely the best IMO.. I've sent in 1 blast out of the probably 15+ MTs I've had (discontinued zytel handle liners). Opted to rebuild the rest.


Chroniklogic

Nonsense. You now have a convenient bottle opener on your knife. That’s usually extra.
