This set of two carbon brushes is a genuine Makita replacement part, packaged in an official Makita retail box. Each brush includes wire leads and attached brush springs, and is designed to restore optimal performance in compatible Makita tools. Carbon brushes are among the most commonly replaced components in power tools, as they gradually wear down through friction and regular use. Worn brushes can lead to intermittent motor function, reduced power, or diminished electric braking. Replacing them can resolve these issues and restore proper motor performance. Signs of wear include brushes worn near the wire lead, or those that are cracked, pitted, or burned. When replacing carbon brushes, it’s also important to inspect the armature for any signs of damage, such as burns or cracks, which may indicate a more serious motor issue.
