Product Description ?

Genuine DeWalt replacement part.
rnIncludes 1 Carbon Brush with wire lead in rubber sheath attached.rn

• Worn brushes frequently are the cause behind a motor running poorly.
• Replacing brushes can fix a motor that’s operating intermittently.
• New brushes can restore a motor’s electric braking.


Carbon brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts. This is 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 causes 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. When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which can indicate larger motor problems.

    Just what I needed
    This brush was the proper repair part for my tool. Be advised that electric motors that require brushes require two brushes, not one. Advise to buy two at a time. I didn’t know they are sold individually the first time I bought brushes, so I had to order a second one, which required additional wait time.

    Confusing
    When Replacement Parts says one it means one. I ordered replacement brushes for my DeWalt palm sander. When I ordered I noticed the quantity as one assuming that it meant a pair of brushes. I don't know of any piece of electrical equipment that doesn't require two brushes. But my order arrived with one brush necessitating another order of one. Six dollars additional postage having to order a second brush. So, I repeat, one means one.
