I used a lower price electric drill to polish some stainless steel, and after a single hour of continuous operation it was never the same again.
replyI suspect there's very little power needed once you're up to speed and cruising, but constant stop-and-go and long uphill runs will certainly cause it to overheat.
replyIt's brushless so brush wear isn't a problem, but these motors are air-cooled and will actually be cooler at high speed, low-demand. Lugging it up a hill would be a worst case.
Drills are used sporadically. If a drill was used intermittently it would be on most of the time and occasionally off.

replyBut when the wipers in my car are set to intermittent, they are off most of time and ocassionally off.
I’m fairly sure ‘sporadic’ indicates random/unpredictable timing while ‘intermittent’ has a predictable pattern.
replyI get sporadic phone calls about intermittent issues with some system or other that I take care of out there in the world.
reply(I wish there were a pattern to any of it, since it's often very difficult to fix things that are usually working fine.)
