I have a few of the metal boxed sets of drill motor and adapters. When I was a kid they were selling those. The plug and ground wire was to let you plug the drill into the old ungrounded outlets and bond the frame of the drill to a separate ground. You probably have seen the adapters to let a 3 prong plug work with an ungrounded outlet. Working as an electrician with my Dad we carried some on the truck so we could tap into those type outlets. I still have several that Dad had in his shop.

That was my first time with that one!

A lot of dumb asses cut the ground wire off, leaving the thing unprotected. Hard to believe grounded outlets were so uncommon.
