Can it drill in reverse?

The drill does have forward and reverse, but I do believe drill bits are designed to drill in the forward motion. Their may be specialty bits that will drill in reverse, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Not very safely. The device is unbalanced and thus it would be incredibly difficult to hold the drill steady enough to have this drill effectively. A drill press would be the only safe way to use this bit.

I fhave a standard cordless drill. It just fits in the chuck and I tighten it and off I go. As I recall you should only go in the clockwise/tighten direction. Its easy. And it works very well.

not really i have moved it to my left side when i have a hammer on my right, but i still use my right hand to retrieve it. you would have to spin the drill around when you take it out and replace it with your left hand. hope this helps. Verdis

It seems to be just a mechanical slide switch, so no reason it couldn't be used in reverse (i.e. one input switchable to each of three different outputs). I just checked and confirmed that with mine.

This item did not work for me at all. So, I don't know if it will work in reverse. Sorry.

Not that I'm aware of because there is a lip where it meets the bracket hole, when you insertthe bar, that keeps it in place & unable to drop any lower. I don't know how you would be able to do it in reverse.

Yes you can reverse one and the only thing that will be opposite is the 3 outside vertical supports. the holes are predrilled for these. It seems like it would still look great. Very easy to assemble. Love mine

Yes. This drill is variable speed reversible. It also has hammer mode. Excellent for drilling masonry or concrete.

Yes but the speed is probably way to high and when you lower it you lose a lot of torque so it's far from ideal. A drill capable of 2-4000 rpm would be better.

I doubt it. The drill bits (Phillips head and straight head) are like jumbo crayons, and drill really isn't that strong. I gave this toy to my 3 year old grandson after reading that sometimes the drill didn't work. Sure enough, when he opened the box the drill would only go in reverse and nothing I could do would make it go forward. He still liked playing with it because of the sound it made. Once his father came home and looked at the drill, he was able to make the forward/reverse switch move enough to make the drill work in forward speed. But my grandson didn't see that fix happen, and I left town before my grandson had another chance to play with the toy. I doubt it.

It may be possible with a special drill bit. I have seen it done, but not specifically with this one.

Yes, of course. There's a red switch underneath you can flip like most drills that reverses the direction of rotation (so you can screw in or out screws).

Not really, normal bits would not fit and it turns too slowly for drilling.

Yes this motor does reverse direction by simply reversing the leads and seems to provide the same amount of torque in both directions. I have a couple of these that I use to power Halloween animations and get sufficient torque using 12 volt power.

It's possible, with the correct drill bit. With a little experimenting I'm sure you could make it work.

Yes, however check the chuck capacity. Using a larger diameter bit than you drill is rated for is a good way to burn it up. I've done it before, with caution.
