Mark, if your going to use power tools around water you can buy an electrical fault outlet for about $5 and install it inplace of your regular outlet wall plug in, and this will keep you safe. I had one save me one time when I was high upon an aluminum latter and the ele. drill plug loosened from the extention cord and touched the latter. The power was shut off before it got to me
