DeWalt
Power tools · Last assessed 6/9/2026
Score breakdown
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.
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.
