Anyone know what the little cube magnet thing inside power tools are called?

Posted on October 31st, 2010 by admin

Its the little cube or rectangular thing that gets worn down. I have replaced a couple from other power tools but I need one now but I don’t know what they’re called.

They’re called brushes, many hardware stores carry a selection of them. Bring an old one with you, as the difference in the various sizes can be very small.
PS- They’re not magnetic, but hey do conduct electricity.

    Brushes, just be careful there is a spring behind them. Some come with new springs.
