chadlanthier Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm not sure of the brand or the age. Got it after father in law passed away. It has no markings, but I'm thinking its a craftsman. That seems like all he owned. It still works like a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Google is so great!!;1970's 1/2" drill Model No. 7250. 4.2 amps - 500 rpm - no load. They made a point of indicating it is "reversible" on the label. Made in Brockville,Ontario---picture removed--- The little scrap of orange label is what told me it was a black and decker... then it was just a matter of scrolling through google images..Neat drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Reverse was a new feature at one time. Earlier drills were mostly low amp, 1/4" chuck, without reverse. I still don't use reverse except on the rare occasion I'm using it as a driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah it doesn't have a reverse that I see. Unless I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
