First, I don't trip over cords, when working I keep them over my shoulder. Second, a drill has one action, rotation, no orbital motion, so it seems to me they are relying on the flapping action to try and make it random, not a good enough option IMO. Another thing is with using a cordless tool of any kind, in particular when used constantly, is the battery will lose power fast, reducing the speed, which is not a good thing.
Stick to doing it by hand till you can afford the real thing. The potential to do damage is just not worth it.
Unless Foose will come and fix it himself, which I don't think will happen

This endorsement is nothing more than him getting a check every month
