Crude but very effective. I think you are more at risk of being electrocuted by the doggie wiring than anything else. Love the Chinese safety boots.

I'm in accordance with Scrounga about security, but for me it's a perfect illustration of how you can repair a pulley on your car for example when you're in the African desert with just old wash machines and electricity as modern working resources.
