Put that in some rice

I was gonna hang some curtains, too, but then I got high.

That looks like if you opened up the shell, you'd find a light-emitting resistor.
thatwoodguy
Landscaping professional and woodworker here. Those cordless drills are great for a lot of things but for something like this you need a little more than that's a corded half inch Arbor drill. You also need to use the clutch so you can get more torque out of them, and also do not cover up the vent slots that allow cooling air to go in and out of the drill with your hand when you're pressing against it to get purchase.

Drill smoke. Don't breathe this.

Is that an old AMD CPU?

There are some things that cordless tools were never meant to do.

Congrats on getting a Dewalt power drill to release its magic smoke!
DALLASLAVOWNER
I dontthink thats Dewalt, looks more like Harbor Freight type knock off

What you need is a corded 1/2" wrist snapper drill!
thatwoodguy
I use those when I started construction furniture and railings with the Tenon cutters. Yeah you had to be really careful using them because they have no slow buildup like those who they're just on or off and if you're cutting edge is not cutting then the girl snaps around
FlamingButtMonkey
I was using one to drill 3/4" holes in some thick walled tubing and more than once when the bit broke through it grabbed and the drill whipped around on me. How I didn't break a finger or hurt my wrist I have no clue. Shitty thing was I was only using it because my cheap ass boss wouldn't buy new tips for the plasma cutter. 30 minute job took over 2 hours.

If it wasn't brushless before, it is now.

I had a hedge trimmer that smoked up after a few uses. Was very annoyed.

My Craftsman did this after like 20 years of loyal service. Remember, every tool failure is a chance to upgrade. :)

Every tool failure is a chance to stop working and get high!
mirrorz
I've let the smoke out of every Dewalt I've ever had but they were all corded. Oddly enough, the cheap Ryobi impact I have is still going after +10years.
GoodGuyGonzo
This is not a drill
mmodlin
Not anymore, at least.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Right?! It's a wrench! I've been saying that for years!
thescottishfox
you're letting the magic smoke escape! It's gonna stop working!

Just pop in a fresh smoke cartridge and you're good to go.

I make that joke to people all the time. Nobody gets it and I have to explain it. 😞
The first time I heard it, it was just...obvious.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
it's the flogiston of electronics
JulioSteinlager
When my kids were young, I was fixing an appliance that smoked and died. I carefully explain that the solder iron was the special tool to put the magic smoke back in.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Electronic flogiston. The refills are often more expensive than buying new.
Sidewaysgts
It’s easy to let the smoke out. The hard part is putting it back in.
Jordan7831
Any machine is a smoke machine if you run it wrong enough
WoodHandle
"wrong" is correct.
Jandegrote
And it might be limited to a one time use smoke machine.

I don't think he'd appreciate tools being used that badly, though.

mindstorm8191
Magic smoke is very bad for the lungs
Magic smoke of any kind, I imagine...
SithElephant
It's wild that over a hundred years since the invention of the bimetalic strip, tool makers still don't bother protecting from overheating often.
adoptagreyhound
Not the right drill for the job. The manufacturer can't account for the end user also being a tool.
Ekibwurm
if it breaks you have to buy a new one. think of iphone chargers...
Einbrecher
Additional point of failure and headache that would likely be an issue more often than overheating from misuse. Plus, the drill itself is the cheapest part - can buy 2 drills for the cost of 1 battery.
Frederf
They do. They just suck at it because customers will go back to Home Depot for another one instead of a Hilti.
Three5Nines
It doesn't need one if operated correctly.
FinancialRavioli
That costs money and doesn't sell another drill.
cosinewave
I have never seen a DeWalt drill do that.
frosss
It had it happen on my older dewalt that used brushes. It was cheap and easy to replace the brushes and thing runs good as new. Never had it happen in any of my brushless drills.
TacticoolWolf
Can't always trust a tiktok, or a cheap battery, or drill off the internet. a lot of counterfeits out there.

Raeilgunne
even so, wrong tool for driving lag bolts. Use an impact
absoluttalent
Looks like a real DeWalt. Besides the lion, kinda looks like the old 14v-18v nicad drivers they used to make 20 something years ago.
But this one's real close, prolly what he was using https://www.dewalt.com/product/dcd771c2/20v-max-compact-drilldriver-kit?tid=577301

I have never seen one not do that, now I use milwaukee and it happens half as much
DanielAsparagus
Really depends on the use. For household carpentry dewalt is fine. I wouldn’t use it daily for metal. I’ve got a corded Milwaukee for that.
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Pretty much all of them will do that, if you overload them for too long (all of them, as in all brands, not all DeWalt drills as such)
AnAverageBoxEnthusiast
thatwoodguy
My guess is they're doing prolonged drilling with multiple battery packs and we're covering up the back air vents with their hand to push on the drill obstructing cooling air flow.
Dunothar
Killed a Makita yesterday, those 6x90mm screws killed that poor thing. RIP old Makita,
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I killed a Hitachi by trying to unbolt my car's wheels a few years ago. It tore itself apart, housing shattered. Impressive in a way lol!
SpacecouchCowboy
Yeah I did that with an old Hitachi once with a partner while we were .........drilling........
bamcobra
I hope that was a different model Hitachi.
filiuspelei
Thats a mighty long hole there

you failed to land that one and OPs mom.

LOL, i've disappointed much more important persons in my life than you!
PinkEater
Cordless are very useful but sometimes it is not the right tool. Especially if a lot of torque is needed.
Audasity
my cordless milwaukee impact probably has more torque than this :)
Canoecrossing
Yup, that and any corded milwaukee would've done the job. Dcd999b by dewalt would've also had no issues.
AK90
We have a cordless 40V HILTI SDS drill that can easily keep up with a corded SDS. Just the wrong tool for the job in this case.
xxPaulCPxx
I bought a $300 super heavy duty drill that has a clutch the will stop it instead of breaking my pansy wrists. On a per hole basis, each hole I've used it for costs about $20 now - money well spent!
OliverKlozoff1269
@op mom costs $20 per hole
LittleRobot71
No thanks son, I'd rather use this for wood: https://cdn.rona.ca/images/11975221_L.jpg

I have one of those... The rear handle is a game changer. I was skeptical at first but it works. Even for lighter stuff I have found that by -pulling- on it slightly I can be far more precise in maintaining my bore to be perpendicular.
Frogblender
You can get cordless drills which will break your wrists if you don't use the side handle and it catches. The one on fire is not that grade.
Thornaxe
It annoys me how fast the slow range is on these cordless drills. All of them are 450+. In college I had this cheesy little 14.4v black and decker that maxed out at 300rpm in low range. That was the little drill that could. Amazed me what it’d do cuz it wasn’t trying for too much speed.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
This I used mine to enlarge a hole to 1.5 inches in steel. It was too big of a hole for a hand drill. But I was too lazy to carry the magdrill over. The bit caught at the end. My wrist hurt for 3 days after. It was a dewalt drill, too. But dewalt has several levels of tools now.
jesusisherelookbusy
SDS for the win.
PinkEater
Where brick becomes like butter.
coughingintensifies
So I have this drill that supposedly also hammers. Had to hang curtains, drukled 7 holes in the concrete ceiling. Pretty much wrecked me 2 drill bits, it’s still interesting to make metal glow red hot. New home, more curtain hanging to do, got myself a proper sds drill. It is *amazing*, like butter indeed. Lesson learnt: get the proper tool for the job.
Thornaxe
Ya. Hammer drills are mostly drill with a bit of hammer. And they work ok. SDS is mostly hammer with a little drilling and they work GREAT.
MapleSyrupMafia
The "I'm suddenly not standing where I was 2 seconds ago when it grips" tool.

Rotohammers aren't that bad, but this motherfucker will take your arm out of socket and shoot it two rooms over if you aren't careful.
PinkEater
I used one for several years. Did have a few times where it told me I was using it wrong.
DorkJedi
Are my wrists supposed to bend that way?
