Oh, stop that. it’s fine to go into the panel if you need to - just work with one hand, wear shoes, and be careful. please offer advice when on DIY and dont Try to scare folks away from basics and learning.

Yes, that is generally true. But on this instant , from the way op describes things, I don’t think op is safe enough to diy.

Are you seriously advocating for untrained people to work one handed in a hot panel?

Please don't offer shit advice to people on DIY who don't know any better. Your advice flies in the face of all recognized safe work practices discussed in NFPA 70E.

Yes. I’m saying it’s not nearly as dangerous as most folks imagine and that you can do work in your own panel if you’re careful.

You're wrong. Don't advise people to do stupid shit. I never said don't work on it, but for fucks sake turn the panel off.

Not usually an option. Disconnects are mostly in new construction. Older homes require you to pull the meter which requires an electrician. Right?
