There was a guy in our marina working on his boat, about waist deep in
Lake Pontchartrain. He was drilling a hole using one of those old
2-wire aluminum-case drills. He died.

I'm wondering if using today a battery powered drill would be safe in
that situation.

Certainly. No current path through ones internals, and 12 volts DC
won't hurt you anyhow.

I wet my fingers on two hands and grabbed alligator clips from a DC
supply, and cranked up the voltage until I couldn't stand any more. 90
volts.
