You might have nothing better to do than read every single post...............................The TS, post #4, made it clear it was a Bosch, reversible hammer drill. What is so hard to understand about that?

The TS didn't say it was a reversible drill, and asked how to wire a reversing switch.......................Why would a REVERSIBLE drill NOT be designed to have REVERSE? I am confused?
And why would it have a forward/reverse switch?
No, he didn't say it was a reversible drill. He DID say the drill's Fwd/Rev switch was bad (Post #4). I thought it a reasonable conclusion that a drill with a Fwd/Rev switch was thus reversible (at some point in time).The TS didn't say it was a reversible drill, and asked how to wire a reversing switch.......................
From post #4, just the model number says it's a 1198VSR (variable speed reversible).Yes this is an electric older Bosch 1/2" hammer drill model 1198VSR

Depends on the concrete - I've encountered stuff that just grinds the end off the bit.@Colin55
Have you drilled many holes in dense concrete? How big? How deep?
A hammer drill makes drilling concrete not much more difficult than drilling wood.

Who removed the "this guy is an idiot" button? I would have used it twice today!I have never seen a hammer drill. Why don't you simply buy a hammer and a drill and you won't have any problems.
Oh, I've stopped. Any point that I wished to make has been made.Not in post one he didn't:
"I am trying to reverse a hand drill with a DPDT switch, need a little help on how to wire it.".
Like I said - you may have nothing better to do than read EVERY SINGLE POST. I answered the question that the TS asked - and now you won't stop whittering on about it.
Already been told in post#2Perhaps this may be of some help in the real world. This is how my drill is wired for reversing.View attachment 107765 View attachment 107766
Its absolutely guaranteed to turn up when you're looking for something else..........................do not have the original switch anymore, got misplaced. I put it where I could remember where I put it, but can't remember where I put it.
