Published grade / five-factor mean
B 87/ 100

The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.

Why this grade

DeWalt runs ServiceNet (toolservicenet.com), a public portal where entering a model number returns the tool's exploded diagram, manual, and a priced list of individual service parts that consumers can buy directly via an online shopping cart, plus how-to repair videos. OEM parts are also widely stocked by third parties (eReplacementParts). Power tools carry no software locks; batteries are cell-rebuildable. Mainstream parts pricing keeps OEM cost moderate rather than cheap.
