I only use half inch drills but drill smaller holes and then enlarge, especially when using spade bits.
When drilling holes through framing lumber I use my long auger type bits...like the electricians do.

In my case with the Milwaukee drill, that's exactly what I was doing
except it had a 1/2 inch chuck. I was using an auger bit. It just
jammed in one of the holes and the drill spun around and nearly broke my
wrist.

I have one of those half inch Milwaukee hammer drills also. Great
tool but an awesome amount of torque transmitted back when, not if, it
jams up. I had it happen recently when drilling my concrete pool deck
with a 1 1/8 masonary bit. My problem was not fully tightening the
forward handle, allowing the whole tool to totate inside the
attachment ring. I was lucky not to get banged up worse than I did.

I have an assortment of 1/2" drills I have accumulated over the years.
Some, like the hammer drills go pretty fast. I also have two that go
slow but will not stall. Those are the ones I use with ship augers.
Wrists have little to do with it. If that drill jams, it will lift me
off the ground. You really have to stand in a way that you can absorb
a half revolution or more that it turns after you get off the trigger.
