Craftsman Model 315.172110 jig saw, it’s losing power. I ASSUME the brushes need to be replaced. Not having much luck finding replacement brushes online. Anyone know, first, if this is the issue and second, where I can find a brush kit?
Dan Krier, I had the same result as you after doing a good search brushes discontinued and no alternative part listed. If need be, in the past I was able to order similar brush to what I required in a old saw(new brush was a little wider) so all I did was sand it down a bit to fit, reused old holder/spring and it worked very well. Below is a sample of brushes that are available for power tools. etc.. Good luck.
