Be careful there, Jayce.
Personally, I always work with one hand. Even when tuning a fully assembled radio.
When rarely I have to use both (and it is a concious decision) I use a trick I was taught when starting at a factory: quickly stroke one finger against the second point of contact, very fast. If you get a jolt, it won't kill you as it lasts milliseconds, but you will know if it is hot.
Of course the best way is using a meter or not doing that at all.
