Solved, apparently 4 hours of sleep causes electrical problems.
I plugged my little Senco compressor into a GFCI outlet and it didn't work. I tried the vacuum also plugged in and it worked fine. I switched the plugs and the results were the same.
I then tried both at the same time and the compressor worked. Tried everything repeatedly to make sure, and the results were consistent.
I then plugged the compressor into a non-GFCI outlet and it worked fine. Though the GFCI outlet had nothing else on it, while the non-GFCI outlet was on the same circuit as a number of turned on lights.
If you can figure this one out you must be brighter than me; it seems impossible to me.
