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.
