Score breakdown
Why this grade
Makita publishes per-model Parts Breakdown PDFs with exploded views and part numbers directly from its CDN (cdn.makitatools.com), plus an owners' parts-manual lookup (makita.ca) and parts drawings (makitauk.com). Parts are sold through authorized dealers and many third parties (jackssmallengines, mmtoolparts). No software locks on power tools, and its large brushed-tool range is straightforward to service (replaceable carbon brushes). Mainstream OEM parts pricing.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60). This assessment is current as of 6/9/2026 and cites its sources below. It covers the Power tools category and is not a claim about every device the maker ships.
