re: Dimming lights when I run power tools

That was plugged straight into outlets. Had an electrician come about 6 months ago and install a new 200A panel at the house and 100 in the shop, so everything is good on my end IMHO. He ran a new wire from the pole in my yard to the house. Issue was happening before that though.
I just squirted gas all over myself testing a fuel pump, so I'm gonna take a break and call Entergy

Check the voltage at the outlet you're plugging into and compare it to the voltage at the breaker which you believe is the beginning of the branch circuit.
You could be plugging in to the very end of a branch circuit and there may be extra loads in the middle of the branch that are also drawing current or dropping voltage. Also check all connections and neutrals in that branch circuit.
Remember, when voltage goes down, your current's gonna go up.
