ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues to GFIor not to is the question

I find it curious, all this hair-splitting over a $10 widget.

I am also surprised at the absolute lack of interest in repairing the faulty equipment discovered through using that widget.

I can't speak for others... but if my tool was tripping the GFI, I'd get it fixed (or replaced) pronto.... no sense in waiting for smoke to leak out!
