A pair of replacement carbon brushes designed specifically for use in drywall sanders. These brushes restore proper electrical contact to the motor commutator, helping maintain performance, reduce sparking, and extend the life of the tool. Key benefits Restores motor performance: Replacing worn brushes returns consistent power and torque to the sander, improving sanding efficiency. Prevents damage: Fresh brushes reduce excessive sparking and heat at the commutator, helping avoid costly motor repairs. Costeffective maintenance: Replacing brushes is an inexpensive way to extend the service life of a drywall sander compared with motor replacement. Ready as a pair: Supplied in pairs to ensure both brush contacts are renewed at the same time for balanced performance. Product attributes Quantity: Two carbon brushes (one pair), intended to the worn brushes in a drywall sander. Material: Carbon construction for reliable electrical conductivity and predictable wear characteristics. Functionality: Provide the conductive interface between the motor's commutator and the electrical circuit; simple wear part that requires periodic replacement. Performance: Designed to restore clean contact, reduce sparking, and help maintain consistent motor speed under load. Compatibility guidance: Made for drywall sanders; verify fit by comparing your existing brushes' size, shape, and terminal type to ensure proper match before installation. Installation and care Typical replacement is straightforward: brushes are usually accessible through a brush port or brush holder; replacement may require removing a small cover or housing. both brushes at the same time to ensure even wear and balanced motor operation. If you are unsure about fit or the replacement procedure, consult the sander's manual or a qualified technician. Use cases / applications Routine maintenance for construction crews who use drywall sanders daily and need reliable, consistent motor performance on job sites. Quick for a DIY homeowner who notices reduced sanding efficiency or visible sparking and wants to restore the tool without professional service. Preventive maintenance: swapping in a pair before a large sanding project to ensure peak tool performance and avoid downtime. Compatibility checklist (before ) Measure current brush length and crosssection and compare to the replacement brushes. Check terminal/connector style (wire lead, spring clip, etc.) to ensure proper electrical connection. Confirm access method on your sander (brush holder or access port) so installation is possible without additional parts. Practical notes Replacing brushes at the first sign of wear is easier and less expensive than repairing commutator damage. Keep a spare pair on hand to minimize downtime during projects. If unusual noises, heavy sparking, or loss of power continue after replacement, have the motor inspected by a professional. This pair of carbon brushes is a direct, practical maintenance item for drywall sanders—simple to install, economical, and effective at restoring motor contact and performance.
