Now come on Don,

While I understand the underlying message from you, and totally agree that removing a meter under load can be dangerous, you really expect a fairly young guy to run to the truck, pull on full PPE gear, (as the wall begins to smolder, the redness brightens in the augur bit as it moves closer to the drill motor), THEN cut the seal and pull the meter?

I'd be tickled if he was wearing the protective eyewear and standard leather gloves I constantly remind my guys to wear while using power tools.
