  1. Hurt, no treatment

    The product, in the report: Power Cable corded hand drill Model 2611

    I was using this Porter Cable corded drill model 2611 to drill a small hole in soft wood when sharp pieces of plastic came shooting out of the air vents on the side of the drill. On closer inspection it seems that the cooling fan blade inside the drill had came apart and was throwing the plastic pieces out of the vents. The plastic hit my arms and chest causing pain but no permanet injury. Could have easily caused damage to eyes if drill was turned another way. The drill was well maintained and had not been used very often.
