No reverse on drill.

Before the invention of the hammer drill, people face a lot of trouble drilling in the tight spaces. They had to break down the parts in smaller units in order to drill it properly. But, now the time has changed and the users can easily drill on a portable manner. But, one might wonder, what makes the best hammer drill
? The answer is being more and more complicated each year with so many brands on the market.

The market offering is huge and most of the brands are continuously reinventing their products. We have analyzed many different drills from cordless hammer drill to a corded hammer drill, to hammer drill machine to cordless hammer drill drivers. Thus, we have come up with these top picks.

Above the trigger there is a black slide switch that will reverse the direction if its in the colckwise direction the richt side is pushed in if counter clockwise the left side is pushed in.

The now vintage B&D model 7004 type 1 was a single-speed, non-reversible drill. There is no reverse switch.

Turn the drill over and push the switch all the way in.

if you took it apart to change the chuck you might have disconnected some wire id check that first

centre pin on plug socket is usually positive...
think I would **** it and see ....if the replacement charger has a charge light it will probably not light if you have reversed polarity. Had the same problem with VHF portables ...I just cut the wire on new charger and tried both options ..reconnected and a bit of tape...voila.
There is little danger to your drill from getting it wrong as long as a the timing is relatively short.

There is a slide switch on the drill that has a R & a F on it. R is for reverse and F is for foward.

The switch near the trigger that toggles left or right controls that.

Good luck with your project, Kathleen.

look at the back of the brush holder for a tab that the forward/reverse lever locks into, it might be broken not allowing it to shift.

Scraped the drill and bought a new one for $20
