Carbon Brush 250816

Designed for use with select Flex tools, this OEM approved replacement Brush fits a variety of models. To see if this part will fit your tool, please see the "Model Cross Reference List" below. This brush is made out of a durable carbon alloy, has a lead wire attached to it, and its primary purpose is to conduct electrical current from the stationary wires to the moving parts of your tool. Brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away until they need replacing. Worn brushes are a common cause of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking, and reduced motor power. A worn-out brush will often be worn down near to the wire lead and can be cracked, pitted, or burned. Brushes are sold individually, and might also be known as Carbon Brushes or Motor Brushes. It is recommended to replace both brushes, even if only one is worn.
