When adding a receptacle I know enough to turn the breaker off, black goes to black, white to white and both grounds to the green screw.
I added a receptacle to an existing line. I have done this several times when building my shop. When I turned the breaker back on my flashing tester (not vmeter, I'll do that tomorrow) shows power before the new receptacle, after the receptacle, and to all of the power cords to the tools on that line. However, none of the tools will work, they're dead when I turn the switches one at a time.
I will recheck the connections tomorrow, also.
What might be the problem?
