Which tools should have, as they cannot start if they were shut down due
to a power failure and the power is restored. No foul if the TV comes
back on, but power tools are a whole other story.

Have you ever seen the extension cord type device that is sold for tools
without magnetic starters to guard against exactly the thing you just
mentioned?

Thanks, good to know and I'll google it as soon as I can think of what to
search for.
