It will short out to the body of the vehicle, power from a postiive post will travel thru your wrench and produce a 'arc.' There is a risk. Be careful whenever working around a battery, the only post that is 'dead' is the negitive. If you ground the positive side you will get power. Hey,,

After that you can disconnect the positive battery terminal with minimal risk, because if your wrench touches any metal parts of the car there is no complete circuit, and nothing happens. The only risk comes from touching the other (i.e. negative) battery terminal.
