- Replacement Makita parts are easy to find online
- They are also all made with only premium materials
For the better part of a century, Makita parts have been produced for the craftsmen and discerning homeowners who buy and use Makita tools. All manufactured Makita parts are made to the same exacting standards, and using the same premium materials that their finished tools are. No part of their manufacturing process is outsourced.
Only Premium Grade Materials
Makita uses only the best tool grade steel to cast and mill shafts splines and gears, and then they heat treat them to render them even harder. They also only use 97% pure copper wiring in all their electrical components and motors for enhanced conductivity.
Their 19 Step Inspection Process
All Makita parts manufacturing facilities operate by by rigid standards that require all finished motors to undergo 19 inspections, both during and at the conclusion of the manufacturing process. Perhaps you may have noticed that you just never see a Makita tool with a motor that has gone bad.
Some Makita Parts You Can Expect to Replace
Even so, people who buy certain types of tools will need certain spare parts from time to time, and base pads for sanders are a prime example. Parts like base pads, batteries and triggers can in fact be expected to wear out and be replaced more then once over the lifetime of the tool, if it receives regular use.
Always Use Caution When Working on Any Tool
Make sure to use the proper tools when replacing any Makita parts. Trying to remove hex screws with a screw driver for example, will only lead to problems. Another thing to watch out for is over-torquing. It's just too easy to do if your not careful. Over torturing small screws on plastic parts can lead to having to replace even more parts.
