While lighting is an important part of the man cave, power points are critical. Relying on a single power board to supply current to a variety of tools is potentially dangerous. It isn’t a budget-breaker to get a licensed electrician to wire up a series of power points that also incorporate safety switches.

A hanging power point is another workshop innovation that reduces the need for an extension cord if a power tool needs to be used in a different part of the workshop. If Dad has a specific tool rated to draw more current than normal household appliances a dedicated higher-amperage circuit and power point must be installed. After all, the kitchen oven is wired into one and it’s a fire-safe no-brainer.
