I'm not worried about getting a shock from my equipment, plus all my circuits have GFI protection.

Everyone of my late father's oscopes and meters had the ground pin cut off.
I've got probably 3 or 4 commercial isolation transformers and a Sola power conditioner/stabilizer, but rarely use an isolation transformer. One GFCI, an Arc-fault breaker, and the rarity of hot-chassis stuff on my bench is the real reason.
Dad had one of those metal-raceway power strips across the front of the bench - I got shocked once when my knee made contact with the grounded power strip and my hand was steadying a little 13" hot chassis portable. Note to self - wearing shorts is a no-no around Dad's bench...
