And never dismiss asking questions when someone comes and asks you for a fish tape. I had an electrician ask me for a fish tape? I gave him a Greenly 50' tape. He then went and fished a wire inside the back of an energized 2,300 Volt distribution panel to an available bucket slot. Unfortunately he didn't explain what he wanted it for? The steel tape crossed phases and there were just shoe prints left in white around a soot scorched concrete floor.

For that you need a fiberglass tape and a damned good reason to be working 2,300 live. You also need to be in your space suit. Gloves and a face shield just won't save you.

Well, there’s such a thing as stupid and there’s also self-correcting stupid.
