Grounded power tools are designed with an extra safety feature to prevent electrical shocks. They usually have a three-pronged plug or a separate grounding wire that directs any stray electrical current away from the user. This is especially important for tools used in damp or high-risk environments, where faulty wiring could lead to serious injuries. Using grounded tools with properly wired outlets and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) further enhances safety, making them essential for professional and home use.

What kind of grounded tools do you need to replace a fuse box?

Please. If you need this answer you are not qualified to do the job. It is a basic simple mechanical task with rules and laws that are meant to protect life and property. If you insist please disconnect the outside meter first so you will not be shocked. It is directly connected to your fuse box. Now tools "grounded" or "ungrounded" will be of no concern.
