you are drilling near!


I've always kept the grease-hole on my cheapie well stuffed with grease
and never noticed it spewing out anywhere. It's hardly used any to start
with.

It varies greatly with model. The original design that NuTool (and many
others) used to flog was notorious - it swallowed quite a bit with each
refil, and after a few the whole drill would end up as a big sticky
mess! On most branded machines there is not need to lubricate the tool
at all, you are just supposed to lubricate the shank of a bit every so
often.
