Product Description

This is a genuine OEM carbon brush, sold individually. Two are needed in your tool, and we suggest replacing them both at the same time, even if only one requires replacement. This is a very common replacement part, and it usually becomes obvious a repair is needed when the motor starts running poorly. Upon inspection you may notice the carbon brush has worn right down to the wire lead, and can be cracked, pitted, or burned. While inspecting the carbon brush, you will want to also check the armature for signs of damage as this can be an indication of more significant motor issues.
