GFI circuit advice

I'm doing the finish wiring in my garage. I have one GFI circuit (protected by a GFI plug) which is fine until I plug something into it... then it trips.

I can have the entire thing wired and covered... even plug the tester into any of the plugs... and get two yellow lights. All is good right? .... WRONG. As soon as I plug my garage door opener or any other tool into the outlet... it trips. I don't even need to fire up the tool... just plugging it in sets it off.

Any ideas?? Bad GFI??

Whatchathink?

How old is the GFCI? Did you wire it? Are you sure it is wired correctly?
