I've always gone for the first pull the detonators out of the explosive, then scrape the insulation off those wires and short them approach, but that's just me, and directors never listen.

And that's why experienced engineers read the whole fucking manual (or at least the procedure they want to do) first till the end before trying to do it step by step.
It's highly inconvenient when you have both hands full holding stuff, if the instruction suddenly demands of you to walk away and fetch a specific screwdriver.
Yelling for help so somebody can hold onto your wires or whatever while you go off to search tools, is highly uncool.

People should stop putting arms on bombs.
