> >snip< Many thanks to all! My original question was prompted by an experience I had as a teenager visiting my uncle in the mid 1960s (oops, the gray hairs are showing). I was working in his garage, using a metal-housed electric drill in bare feet on a dry concrete floor. (No cracks about natural selection at work, please!). I got a jolt about 2 volts shy of a hairstyle by Boston Edison! (Although this was in a St. Louis suburb.) So that's what led me to wonder if an anchor bolt embedded in concrete would constitute a sufficient ground. It sure seemed to for that drill! Thanks again for the helpful advice!
