replace hand drill switch

brhodewalt · Jul 4, 2023

I have a Sears Craftsman hand drill (315.10514, c. 1976) that is in good shape except for a broken switch (speed controller). I want to either locate a replacement switch or give away the whole bundle for salvage. Haven't found a switch anywhere. Any thoughts? Thanks. Bruce

Is it failed/broken mechanically or electrically?
May have to resort to repair rebuild of the existing?

Is this the same one??
From a slightly different model, but the same switches are often used over many models.

Thanks for the quick reply. The switch housing is cracked, affecting the connection to the forward/reverse switch is attached. I'm going to crazy glue, and see what happens.

Looks very similar, although there are no LEDs in my drill. I'll follow up with seller. Thanks for the quick reply.
