I have the black and decker hammer drill model dr650. The drill will not work in the forward position, but will work in the reverse position. The drill has been used twice and is a little over a year old. I checked the trigger switch and it is o.k. any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    Same problem. Bought refurb'd. Took the drill apart, everything looked ok. When it first happened, it smelled like something melted. Thought I needed the switch, now not sure if a new brush assembly will fix it. OF course the brushes are a dealer part only.

    Hi, Its not the trigger but the contacts on the forward/reverse lever. Have you taken it apart to look at those contacts?

Same problem,the forward an reverse switch wasn't shifting the brush assembly far enough in the forward position,I tied the brush assembly with a piece of string so as to lock it in place after removing the forward and reversing switch so I could use the drill, don't have reverse but can use the drill again.

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.

My black and hammer has no forward, but does operate in reverse
That would be Black and Decker, but what model. Generally forward and reverse are controlled by a switch near the trigger, so you can switch one-handed. You may have to repair or replace that switch, or buy a better drill. While lithium batteries are handy, the plug-in drills last so much longer than batteries, cost less, and often work better.

Dewalt drill model no dw563l-xw not hammering sounds okay but no power behind hammer stroke
The selector switch (hammer drill/drill) has to be fully set to the hammer drill position for it to work. Also, the bit has to meet some resistance for the hammer effect to be more pronounced. Make sure also that your forward/reverse switch is set to forward.

Most cordless drills use keyless chucks these days. Shift the drill into reverse and hold the main body of the chuck. Pull the trigger and the bit should come out. Put it into forward and run it to tighten onto a new bit.

Replacing the chuck on black & decker drill
remove the chuck retaining screw LH thread, and then find a bent handle allen wrench about the chuck capacity and insert the shorter piece in the jaws and tighten, Shift the tool to the low position (if it has one) and the selector to drill only (if it has one) position the chuck on a block of wood at about a 30 degree angle so you can strike it counter clockwise and hit it with a hammer, it might take a couple times but it will come off.

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

Good luck with your project, Kathleen.
