This Dewalt drill won't change from forward to reverse. Change lever works but drill only runs forward.
This is one iv never seen before but can happen. The little micro wiper inside the switch for forw/rev has snapped in half.
It is more common for the trigger wiper to fail, but that one can also fail.
This is not something you can order in, so this is a repair that you can only do if you have a scrap dewalt laying around. Dosent have to be a drill either, dewalt use this setup in loads of tools. So anything with a forward/rev switch may work.
For the Size, price, power, and reliability of those drills, I actually quite like it.
It's not the most powerful, but it is a good unit for the money.
