Panasonic 15.6 Drill getting hot?

| Posted in Tools for Home Building on

Anyone have a problem with their Panasonic 15.6 drill getting hot.  I was running in several 3 inch screws one after the other and the handle was getting very hot.  Is this normal?  Thanks for any input.  -Ed

    in the situation you describe its not uncommon for drills or impacts to get warm.

    I think it happens to all brands .My Makitas do the same thing especially with 3" screws.
