I was replacing a Federal Pacific No-Blow panel this week & doing my best to keep it safe (I removed the meter instead of throwing the main breaker). I needed to replace the wires from the underground meter-socket to the distribution panel, and needed to dig out the lower cover of the pedestal. I had my fiberglass handled shovel with me & thought---that won't be much fun if I jump on the supply lines. I tried to think of something non-conductive that I had on the truck & only came up with a "commercial-grade" painter's stir-stick. I dug it out by hand---the digging's easy in most areas here in swampland, but thought---there must be something better.
Any ideas?
Dave
