I was in my garage using my dremel on a project and accidentally hit the wire of the dremel with the drill causing it to spark and blow out. Neither of the outlets where the dremel was plugged in ( test and reset buttons) will work and another in the bathroom ( test and reset) and the adjacent room are also not working. I have gone through all the fuses in the circuit breaker and the outlets are still not working. Is there anything else I can do myself before calling in a professional electrician to look at it?

All I've got is... Did the circuit breaker trip? (sounds like it) did you reset it properly? Some folks do not realize that to properly reset a circuit breaker you must push the handle to the "off" position first, and then push it to the "on " position.

Please try that and reply

It kills me, but I agree, chances are you're not noticing the tripped breaker. Might want to check outside outlets too. Is there an LED on the GFCI outlets?

"fuses in the circuit breake" which do you have, breaker switches or fuses? Are the receptacles GFCI?

Have you tested current on both sides of the breaker ( or fuse or whatever it is you have)

How many GFCI do you have on one circuit and are they wired in series ?
