Well I just ran the motor break in on an inside non-ggci outlet for an hour with no issue. Plug it back in to the gfci in the garage and it trips. So should I try the hospital grade gfci or hire an electrician to install a non-gfci outlet?
The best answer to your question is...."It Dpends".
If the GFCI receptacle in the garage was the existing one with the house, most likely there are other regular receptacles being protected downline. If this is the case, all the other receptacles need to be protected( bathroom, outside, etc and the GFCI would need to be placed at the very next receptacle in the circuit.
In our house, the garage, one basement receptacle( unfinished basement), all 3 bathrooms, and two outdoor receptacles were all controlled by one GFCI on a 15A Circuit. Hair dryers, curling irons and outdoor Christmas lights easily overloaded the circuit tripping the breaker some houses had the GFCI locates in either the garage or master bathroom depending on the location of the electrical panel and which route used less cable.
Perhaps a better option long term is to have the electrician run new a circuit/s to the garage leaving the existing one alone. Your new circuit/s could be 20A for heavier tools. Your choice in the hospital grade GFCI receptacle for a new circuit or having a dedicated non GFCI receptacle.
However, one should always have everything electrical done to code whenever possible. Your homeowners insurance probably would not want to pay out for a fire resulting from a non code modification.
All this said, since you are not doing your own electrical work, talk to your electrician. If in doubt, call your local electrical inspector.
Any new work will require a permit and inspection.
