I went to B&Q a few days back and saw that machine along with a
shedload of other drills all hanging on a display rack mounted in
sockets via a plug held in the chuck.

What sort of strain would that have been putting on an heavy weight
machine like that I wondered. And so it turns out that the worry was
groundless, the tool was already duff.


I'd hope zero - consider having to pull up to free a 22mm bit deep in
some work you're drilling down to.
