Watch using tools around live connections. I blew quiet a few fuses on my Delta, but only one or 2 on my Alero. I did get majorly shocked by both of my cars and the ex wife's car only once. I think the ex wife planed that one out though, but no kitty Jap car could hurt me, (actually it did hurt)

You don't feel 12V. at all... unless the wires are on directly opposite sides of the same finger. There simply is not enough voltage to make any bit of harm to the human body there.
..if this was a home electrical repair, then yes.... 120V does tickle a little bit and 240V will put you on your ass.
And before people contest this, I've held both wires with a thumb and one finger MULTIPLE times, as well as been hit with up to 520V (and whatever a fence is that keeps the horses in their stable) 12V is kiddyland hijinx and is totally harmless.
