Black & Decker is recalling 641,000 hammer drills due to an injury hazard.
The company says the side handle sold with the drill can slip or break, leading to a loss of control of the tool, and possibly an injury.
The recall involves side handles supplied with Porter-Cable brand model PC70THD ½ Inch VSR 2-Speed Hammer Drills, Black & Decker brand model DR560 ½ Inch Drill/Drivers, and Bostitch brand models BTE140 and BTE141 ½ Inch Hammer Drills.

Consumers should stop using the drills and contact Black & Decker for a free replacement side handle by calling 888-284-3070.
