Can I use my cordless/ battery operated drill while standing in water


Yes you can. The voltage isn't high enough to cause you harm but if the
drill gets wet, you could short it out.
I know guys whi used to yake an old 12 volt fan motor, complete with
the blades on it, and put it on the end of a pipe and fasten it on the
back of their canoe like a trolling motor. Never a problem while in
the water but theyb had to remember to dry it out and spray it with WD
or LPS to drive out thwe moisture and keep it drom rusting solid.
anything close to fresh water won't short out 12 or 24 volts, and even
36 0or 40 the motor won't stop from being wet.
