Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles all on/off and variable speed functions. They also have a role in electric breaking; they can momentarily reverse electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical internals, they tend to degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement.

NOTE: Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are:
- The tool will not start when you use the switch, or it requires multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it refuses to start at all
- The variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly
