I used to do everything hot, but I rarely do any more. Just shocked myself today though, stupid. Disconnecting some lights to put up drywall. Wago connectors make it easy, but paying attention to where the wires are is a good idea

True but try telling the kitchen at a fast food restaurant that you are shutting the power off several times times a day during during a remodel while they are still running the drive through... Have run across many old ones that you have no disconnect at all. Have to call the elec Co and have them disconnect at the transformer..

Osha doesn't govern what you do inside your own home unless it is a workplace.

It applies to employees.. The owner of the company is not an employee.... Something that few know.

Looks like a good gimmick.
