Ken:
Reminds me of an experience I had with a Millwaukee Hole Hawg 25 years ago (when I was young and even more foolish). I was drilling out a maybe 3/4" hole in a 3/8" thick steel flange on a hydro turbine, standing six feet in the air on the narrow 4' diameter flange. When the drill bit on that last little bit I was not ready and the thing took off, finally ripping the cord out of the drill before it stopped. I don't know if I had the trigger locked in or whether it was just momentum that kept it going.
I was the manufacturer's rep, fresh out of college, borrowing tools from the customer to make a repair to our equipment. Ah, the good old days of my youth. Underpaid and overworked and on a seriously steep learning curve.
Bruce (still learning)

My last impression of him I was using an auger drill to drill through a
floor joist, working overhead from a step ladder. You have to be fairly
well braced and determined to drill a hole in order to do this.
