Description
Overview:
The Carbon Brush CB-448 (Makita part number 196855-0) is a Genuine Makita replacement for restoring reliable motor contact in compatible cordless impact wrenches and drivers. Each brush is made from a durable carbon/graphite compound with a copper pigtail lead and spring, providing stable electrical contact with the commutator under load. This helps maintain consistent power, reduces sparking, and protects the armature from premature wear. Designed for the Makita DTW251 and widely used across selected LXT models such as the DTD152, it is suited to routine servicing when brushes have worn to their limit. A timely brush change keeps the tool running efficiently during demanding fastening tasks, whether on site, in the workshop, or for home projects.
