Our carbon brush range covers replacement brushes for Makita, Bosch and Festool power tools. It suits anyone servicing a brushed-motor tool that's lost power or started sparking excessively, a common wear part on drills, grinders and sanders that see regular use.
Choosing replacement carbon brushes
Carbon brushes are matched to a specific tool model, so check your tool's model number against the listing rather than relying on general size alone, since brushes that look similar can differ in length or spring tension. Brushes are a wear item that should be replaced as a pair, since replacing only one side leads to uneven wear and can shorten the life of the new brush. Signs it's time to replace them include reduced power, visible sparking through the motor housing vents, or the tool cutting out intermittently. Fitting is usually straightforward with a screwdriver, though check your tool's manual for the exact brush cap location.
