Yeah, this one's common. It's probably not broken, it's likely a battery mismatch or you're hitting the electronic limiter. The P215 is part of the 18V ONE+ system, but battery capacity (Ah) directly impacts performance.
First, check your battery. A small capacity battery (like 1.3Ah or 2.0Ah) provides less sustained power and will feel weak under load compared to a high-capacity battery (4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, or 9.0Ah). The tool's performance scales with the battery.
Second, the drill has an electronic protection system. If you're pushing it too hard—like driving a large screw into hardwood without a pilot hole—the system cuts power to prevent damage. It feels like a sudden loss of power. Ease off the trigger and let it recover.
IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Try a different, higher capacity ONE+ 18V Lithium+ battery. Also, ensure you're using the correct drill setting (the collar near the chuck) for the task: drill mode for drilling, screwdriver mode for driving screws.
HEADS UP: For the toughest jobs, you need the biggest battery. A 9.0Ah battery can provide up to 3x more work for some tools compared to a 5.0Ah. It's the system's design.
