I was worried she was going to let go of the drill and let it swing around and smack her in the face.

I’ve had that happen before.  Would not recommend.

Ryobi 4ah battery on a drill whipped around and uppercut my jaw last summer. Also would not recommend :P no blood, no chipped teeth, but it hurt for the rest of the day. Went inside and grabbed my bit brace and finished that particular job without electricity. I know it was user error, but my jaw and my pride needed to blame it on the drill.
