If it's plastic, then it's fine.
A bit of copper would spice things up
better if it’s rubber
It can melt plastic does that count?
Plastic isn't a conductor, so the current wouldn't travel between the posts across the handle.
Metal is a conductor and would get very hot in a dead short melting plastic.
Yes but it wouldn't short because the current from one terminal would not travel across the plastic handle to the other
I was making a joke using the metal handle and melting plastic, instead of using the plastic as the handle.
