Wards "Powr Kraft" Circular Saw... Help...

At some point Black and Decker made Power Kraft tools. Try a
Dewalt/B&D service center if convenient.

You check this group?

If the source for other Powr Kraft (Power Craft for search) parts can't
help, it's time to go to a motor shop.

Remove the brushes yourself & take them to a good hardware store - might get a good enough match.

<<I am trying to source a pair (or two) of motor brushes for my 1972
vintage Montgomery Ward "Powr Kraft" Circular Saw.

The model number is TGB-8110A and the part number for the brushes("brush
& spring") is 718-838.

Would it help if someone knows who originally made this saw for Wards?>>

Try these guys: www.toolkraft.com . This company bought most of the
tooling and spare parts stock of the company that originally produced Powr
Kraft tools.

Top poster Bob here.

I needed and found parts for a PowrKraft (Wards) RAS at www.toolkraft.com
They don't list parts online, but have a toll free number to call. My
experience was just grand. Hope yours is the same.

Unfortunately, you are 11 years too late.

For lack of the replacement brushes, trainfan1 gave up woodworking all
together. He took up flower arranging instead.
