I have not abused it any matter, the second one tested bad straight out of the box before even using the drill for work. I am a simple wood worker using mostly soft woods, so no. BTW: i already returned the first one purchased since it locked the chuck open and could not break free, this issue is still happening on the replacement. At this point the drill is useless as a heavy duty 1/2 inch hammer drill, only works on speed setting one and was not what i purchased this drill for, already have plenty 3/8 drills. When you switch to speed 2 or use the hammer drill setting its still the same issue and getting worse, the braking of the speed decrease makes a terrible grinding and breaks the chuck open. I have tried the centering switch fix and it helps on speed 1 to keep the bits secure.
