Four or 5 seconds later, I felt like someone hit me in the mouth and I saw a flash of light in both my eyes. That sure got my attention! While I did not drop the soldering iron, I did remove it from my mouth and tried to figure what happened. What I found is the picture below.
Lesson learned here? I've had this soldering iron for years. It is my favorite when it comes to electrical work. It is the type I was originally trained to use years ago as a missile repairman in the Army. However you can see that age has caused insulation to crack across the whole wire. Thus just a little moisture from my mouth cause it to give me a good shock. Fortunately (and I do mean fortunately) I didn't get a whole 115 V. No burns on my lips or in my mouth but it did smart a little. And I believe the bright flash I saw was just a few electrical protons- from the wire -through my eyes- to my brain. Anyway I went out and bought a brand-new soldering iron which I plan to keep out of my mouth. And I hope y'all will take a good look at the wiring on your older electrical tools. We tend to take them for granted. (Now if I could just get my eyes uncrossed). ;>p
