Your drill should be fine. I have a selection of drills from the
smallest to the Hole Hawg. In my experience you will get fair warning
when you are doing too much with a drill. First you will smell it, a
burning smell. If you keep going it will get quite hot and you will
see smoke from the drill. Don't know what happens after that since I
always go up to a larger drill when this happens.
