Not really. But the scary bit is grounding the Allen wrench, or any
tool, at even 100 Amps. Can you spell KAAAAH POOOOOOWWW ?

Take care.

What a hoot! A computer that makes Freudian slips!!
Ha ha ha.

You'll get far more than 100 Amps, even if it was after the breaker. The
breaker won't limit the current, only shut it off when it's over 100
Amps and it's not instant either. Pre breaker it will just max out
whatever it can with the voltage drop from the feeders until something
melts open.
