I was plugging my drill into a plug in it is loose. When I plugged it in it moved to the right and caused a spark. I replaced a the trip fuses and also I checked the buss fuses and they all seem full. I replaced the bar fuses as I call them. And there is still no power through out my house. What can cause that to happen?

Is there a main disconnect or main fuse to kill everything? If so pull it and then check that receptacle for a short. That wiggle and spark tells me its too losse and shorted, sometimes shorts actually weld the wire to the box and the short will remain after the spark. Where do you live Perry?
