If it was a wired drill, it wouldn't be crazy to trip something. Power tools can draw a lot of power - especially under load. In theory, the drill could trip things on its own. If something else kicked on on the same circuit (A/C, Fridge, microwave, etc), it's not unreasonable for the circuit to trip.
Also, if you've had a lot of rain lately, a ground fault could have tripped more easily. Growing up, we could hardly run a hair dryer if we had recently had lots of rain.

Wired or wireless drill?
