This question is sort of related to boats, but I know there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum!
I use a generator for power-tools and pressure washer etc for my boat and transport it in a metal trailer. I leave it in the trailer when in use. There is an earthing terminal on the genny, and I usually connect a wire to it, connected to a metal spike I drive into the ground. Should I also connect the trailer to earth? I also use a plug-in RCD ... will that be functional?
On the subject of power tools, I fell off my deck into the river a few weeks ago, and was holding my DeWalt 18volt Drill (luckily not my 240v one!) It stayed immersed for 48 hours before I could get it out, but after rinsing in clean water, opening up the battery to drain off lots of water, and leaving in the sun for a day, it was fine.. and so was I!
