Why did the garage outlets quit working?
The general convenience receptacle in the garage is GFCI protected and should be checked and reset in the same manner as you would with bathroom GFCI’s. Plugging large, heavy-dugy electric motors into this outlet can overload and/or exceed the capacity of the circuit. Adding a dedicated circuit to run specialized heavy-duty tools in the garage can be easily done by an electrician and will eliminate the problem.
