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