Time to Buy a New Milwaukee Drill?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I already have eight or nine drills, but how can I pass this wonderful addition up. Hey, it's portable and there's the benefit of that it can stand as a slap in the face to that group of politicians who are pushing their absurd green agendas.

I couldn't help but wonder as I watched that, what happens if the bit sticks? In a cartoon Wile E Coyote would be holding on for dear life while being rotated like a pinwheel in a strong wind.

A pin wheel being slapped against a hard surface with each rotation.

Brought back memories of using a Milwaukee 'Hole Hawg' on jobsites. there's a threaded hole in the top of the case intended to accept a length of threaded pipe (3/4" if I remember). The purpose was to put the pipe 'handle in, and brace it against a stud or something. If you didn't and the bit jammed on that beast YOU WOULD GET HURT!

Yep and it would wind up the cord around the motor before it stopped. What a beast it was, we put a 4' long pipe in the motor so 2 big strong men could hold it.
