Our reciprocating tools (breakers, tampers, etc.) will not operate in reverse and will not be damaged. Impact wrench operation is not affected since they offer forward-reverse anyway. Other rotary tools will run in reverse and will wear the motor seals quickly since the wrong side of the dynamic seals will be pressurized. Try to avoid systems that allow reverse oil flow.
