Nothing stops a project faster than a failed tool part when stores are closed or shipping takes days. Smart DeWalt tool owners keep essential spare parts on hand, ensuring minor failures don't become major delays. These commonly needed replacement parts are inexpensive insurance that keeps your tools running when you need them most.

Batteries and Chargers

Spare 20V MAX Batteries are the most critical items to stock. Battery failure happens without warning, and having backup batteries prevents work stoppages. Consider keeping at least two spare batteries per frequently used tool, with higher amp-hour ratings for extended runtime on demanding tasks.

Backup Chargers protect against charging system failures. A dead charger means all your batteries become useless until replacement arrives. Keep a spare charger in your shop or vehicle for emergency charging situations.

Carbon Brushes

Carbon brushes in corded DeWalt drills, grinders and circular saws wear gradually through friction. When brushes wear too short, tools lose power or stop completely. Replacing brushes is simple and inexpensive compared to motor damage from completely worn brushes.

Stock carbon brushes for your most-used corded tools. These small components typically cost just a few dollars but prevent expensive motor replacements. Check brushes annually and replace when they're less than 1/4 inch long.

Chuck Keys and Replacement Chucks

Keyed drill chucks require specialized keys that are easily lost. Keep spare chuck keys attached to your drill or in your toolbox. For keyless chucks that strip or fail to grip properly, having a replacement chuck on hand restores functionality immediately without waiting for parts delivery.

Switch Assemblies

Trigger switches experience constant use and eventual wear. Intermittent operation or failure to start often indicates switch problems. Switch assemblies for common DeWalt models are readily available and relatively simple to replace with basic tools.

Saw Blades and Drill Bits

Circular Saw Blades dull quickly when cutting treated lumber, composites or hitting hidden fasteners. Stock general-purpose combination blades and specialty blades for your most common materials.

Drill and Driver Bits break or wear out during regular use. Keep assorted drill bit sizes and impact-rated driver bits readily available. Quality bit sets prevent project delays from stripped or broken bits.

Build Your Parts Kit Gradually

You don't need everything immediately. Start with batteries and brushes for your most-used tools, then add parts as you identify what you use regularly. Keep parts organized and labeled by tool model for quick identification during repairs.

Quality spare parts keep DeWalt tools operating reliably exactly when projects demand performance. Don’t know which part is right for your model? Reach out to our Customer Service for help!
