Be Safe: Bring Your Own GFCI

You probably already know about the benefits of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) plugs, and you likely have them installed in most of the locations where you use your powertools — your workshop, garage, and outdoor receptacles. But what if you’re stuck with a non-GFCI on the jobsite? That’s when you need a portable GFCI cable, like this one from Coleman Cable.
There’s really nothing simpler: Plug the portable GFCI into a regular plug, then plug your tool or extension cord into that. Just that easily you get the substantially increased safety of GFCI protection wherever you’re working. And with a street price of $26 and change, there’s no real excuse for not keeping one handy.

I’m replying to an ancient post, I must be procrastinating! Many portable GFCI’s will also work as a no-volt release switch. I kind of like that feature, so that if the power is interrupted for ANY reason I don’t get the tool starting up again when it comes back a moment later. Gives time to switch OFF the tool, see what is wrong, and fix the problem.
