Need to replace the breaker that runs my one garage receptacle. Receptacle is a GFCI. Since I will be running an extension chord for outside projects when needed. Should I go with a regular breaker or something with ground or arc fault?
It's possible that the breaker is wearing out. When this happens they do trend to trip on larger loads. GFCI receptacles can also trip on motor loads.I have a 30 gallon air compressor that trips the breaker immediately, but works fine on another circuit.

Are the breakers the same on both of those circuits or is one a 15a and the other a 20a?I have a 30 gallon air compressor that trips the breaker immediately, but works fine on another circuit.

JB Weld and you don't have to worry about the heat.All you need is ta tape that breaker open, then it won't trip no more
Good! Glad to see it was a quick and easy fix!
