That doesn't protect from accidentally bending or damaging the heating elements, which can lead to shorts or malfunctions, which is much easier to do digging around with a pointy piece of metal than a blunt stick. Always frustrating when you realize why it has a hot spot, and that knowing your tools better should have led you to anticipate that failure.
