Does it have a GFCI device built in?

Since most cordless drills are powered by 12, 18, 24, or 32 volt DC power, I doubt that
there is little danger...but you might want tp to do further research.

Yes you can. The voltage isn't high enough to cause you harm but if the
drill gets wet, you could short it out.

How would we know? We don't even know if you can use it while *not* standing in water.

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.

I went to YouTube to watch the video and tripped over a video of The Country Sisters, a girl band from The Czech Republic. I suppose country music is a big thing in The Czech Republic? I don't care if they sing well or not.ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Based on the audience, country music is much more popular with men than with women.

Yes. The cordless devices are too low a voltage to be a danger.
