Dewalt 176949-17 Replacement Brush

Product Description

The DEWALT 176949-17 is a replacement brush designed for use in DEWALT power tools. Carbon brushes are wear components that maintain electrical contact between stationary wiring and rotating parts inside a motor. When brushes wear down, motor performance drops and the tool may stop running entirely. Replacing worn brushes restores normal motor function and extends tool service life. This is a direct OEM-sourced part, making it a straightforward swap for a technician or experienced service professional familiar with power tool motor assemblies.

This brush is intended for use in DEWALT power tools that rely on carbon brush motor technology. Typical applications include angle grinders, rotary hammers, circular saws, and other brush-type motor tools in the DEWALT lineup. It is most commonly installed by power tool repair technicians or service centers performing routine motor maintenance or responding to motor failure symptoms such as sparking, loss of power, or intermittent operation.

Installation Notes

Brush replacement is typically performed by a qualified power tool technician or authorized service center. Always disconnect the tool from its power source and remove the battery pack before opening the brush cap or accessing the motor housing. Use the appropriate screwdriver or brush cap tool as required by the specific tool model.
