Piece of junk

2 months ago
The Porter Cable Hammer drill is junk. As others have said, it started smoking on the 2nd use and then quit. Something inside broke and I can pull the chuck away from the drill about an inch or more. I bought the 2 year replacement plan (which I normally don't do) because of the negative reviews and now I am going through the claim process to get a refund. Don't buy it, it is junk.

No, I do not recommend this product.
