Dewalt Driver Overheating
VastattuI have a new DeWalt 20V brushless drill/driver set (DCF787 and DCD777). My first project using either was to install a security door jamb reinforcement plate. It required me to ream out the deadbolt receptacle to allow it to slide more smoothly. I used a titanium hex grinding bit to cut through the wood and an old nail protruding from the backing 2x4. After running the driver for about 2 minutes, the motor began to cut out and became too hot to touch. After allowing it to cool, I ran it again, and the same thing occurred. I switched the bit to the drill, and it worked without issue.
I am reading mixed commentary online, some stating that the impact driver is not intended for long-term use but rather for short, high-torque bursts such as driving in screws and bolts or for driving small sockets. I'm just trying to get some feedback before I look into returning/exchanging it.

Hi, Steve Kirwan We see that you've contacted our customer service team about your concern with your impact, I would like to provide you with this information. Do not operate this tool for long periods.
Vibration caused by tool action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods. Accessories and tools get hot during operation. Wear
gloves when touching them.
