I'll be impressed if you manage that. 110V can really only kill you in extenuating circumstances, such as if you're in water or something. You'll just get a nasty shock and your arm will be sort of numb for a few hours. It's happened to me a few times. I used to change outlets from time to time without even shutting off the breaker, and sometimes I'd do it and manage not to trip the breaker, other times, trip it, and other times still become a grounding point. *sigh* Yeah, I'm that girl.
Thanks for the tip, VC, I'd never have thought of this, and now you better believe I'm doing it. Well worth the few dollars. Just added it to my to do list in prep for my turts!
