Well, there IS a chance - I managed to arc-weld my 10mm wrench to the
radiator support while loosening the positive terminal of the battery
once. Once is all you need... now I always disconnect the ground terminal
first (+ or -, whatever is connected to the chassis), since it can't arc
to the chassis, and once it's disconnected the other terminal can't either.
