A safety device adapted for use in a hand held tool for minimizing electrical shock from an AC power supply to a user includes a gound plane disposed inside the electrical tool, which, should the tool become immersed in water or become unreasonably wet, provides a path for electrical current, which energizes a solenoid which, in turn, disconnects the AC power supply. The safety device is encased in a cartridge or module. The safety device contains a power supply, such as a electret and/or a battery, that is independent of the AC power supply. Thus, the safety device can be tripped even if the tool is not plugged in or turned on.
