**Executive summary:** A DUO researcher analyzed a Milwaukee smart power drill and found the device to be more secure than typical IoT products: communications were encrypted, web interactions defended against common attacks, and safety limits on the tool resisted tampering; however, minor flaws were identified (Bluetooth identifier exposure enabling local discovery, session tokens with excessively long lifetimes, and a poor vendor response/bug disclosure process).
