I witness this every time I use these tools.

You make a habit of dropping your tools in waterg

No, just the drill. ;~) There is a Festool video that shows it submerged
in water and then run afterwards to drive screws. Youtube


any tool will do that. Electric items are not nearly as sensitive to
water as people would like to think. My dewalts (and my cheap skil circ
saw) have spent many a rain storm in the back of the truck.


My tools have been wet from rain and not that I make that a habit but
this experiment was with the drill totally submerged in water and
immediately operated.

Try that with your drill and let us know if the drill still works.
