Too bad they don't sell them cells at the hardware store

I like those videos.

There are some of guys replacing/rebuilding packs or cells.

Personally, I'd be terrified.

7S4P (1 of 2 stacks worth of cells) would be nice for a 24V boat motor for example or an e-bike.

Meh. Just need thick enough gloves, like this guy was wearing 

7S4P setup for 24V should equal approx 14.5Ah pack, which is perfect for an e-bike.

I'm an electrical idiot.

That's the issue.

I beg to differ. As a teenager I once tried to replace an element on an electric stove. Forgot to un-plug it. It was connected to a dryer-type "holes" which in Euroland would mean at least 220V, maybe more with the phases and what not.
The current ran between my elbow and my finger and I'm still horrified about that experience and how it could have ended for me. 

The battery is DC, you'll be fine

I'm not so sure LOL

I remember being jolted by a distributor before. Never forgot that one!

At around 50min mark he shows how to diagnose the pack on a nearly cell level
