FINDING TOOL MODEL AND TYPE NUMBERS


Finish Nailer Repair - Replacing the Driver Guide (Ridgid Part # 79004001022)
When searching for a tool or machine part at eReplacementParts.com, the
product's model number and type number are always necessary to ensure an
accurate part match. Even when a model or type number is only different by one
digit, the parts for that model or type may not be compatible with other models
and types. Each manufacturer uses a different model and type number system, and
manufacturers often call type numbers by different names. Some type numbers are
especially difficult to find on the tool or machine.
This article provides explanations and pictures for finding model numbers and
type numbers for several tool and machine brands, making it easier to order the
right part for the right tool. Explanations are listed below alphabetically by
brand, but first, some additional information about model numbers and type
numbers will be helpful.
Model and Type Numbers Model numbers distinguish between a manufacturer's tool
models within a certain category (like drill/drivers or nailers). For example,
two different power sander designs from the same brand would be distinguished by
having two different model numbers. This is true for every brand, that they
separate major designs by model number. However, manufacturers often update the
design or features of a tool model and create types of tools with the same model
numbers. Most manufacturers distinguish the different types of a tool model from
one another by assigning type numbers to them in addition to the tool's model
number. This is where it gets tricky. Finding type numbers for tools can be
difficult because of the following reasons:
 * Type numbers can be very different from brand to brand. Sometimes an entire
   type number is just one digit or letter, and sometimes type numbers are very
   long numbers or long combinations of letters and numbers.

 * "Type numbers" go by different names, depending on the manufacturer. Some
   manufacturers call them type numbers, while sometimes they are called the:
   engineering number, series number, or bar code number.

 * Some model types are only distinguished by the year of the model.

 * Type numbers can be very difficult to find, sometimes located on the inside
   of a tool's housing (like some Ryobi tools). Fortunately, most type numbers
   are listed on the name plate with the model number.

 * When a manufacturer does not anticipate redesigning a tool or machine model,
   the first type of that model often does not have a type number assigned to it
   by the manufacturer. Designs that follow the first type will usually have
   type number designations.

 * Some manufacturers do not use a type number system at all, and instead change
   model numbers for each new design. In this case, the model number is the only
   number needed to match the right parts to the tool or machine.

In general, when searching eReplacementParts.com for the right model number and
type number of a tool, the most important idea is just to match all numbers
displayed on the webpage (under that tool's picture and name) with the numbers
on the product. On eReplacementParts.com, type numbers are displayed under the
tool picture to the right of the model number. Sometimes type numbers are
displayed in parentheses, like "(Type 1)" or "(0601916460)". Models that are not
assigned type numbers will not have a type number displayed on the web page.
However, we will often list "Type 1" or "Type 0" for the first redesign of a
tool model in a type series, even if the manufacturer does not list "Type 1" or
"Type 0" on the name plate. This makes it easier for our customers and us to
tell the first type apart from the rest.
[Back to top]
Searching Steps After identifying the model and type number of the tool, finding
the right parts for that tool on eReplacemetParts.com is easy. Here are the
steps:

1. Enter the model number in the drop-down search field at the top left of any
page on our site.

 * * This will navigate to a page that displays all types that match the model
     number entered.
   * If there is only one type for that model, only one option will be
     displayed.
   * All types that match the model number searched for will be displayed with a
     separate picture and name each.
     
   * Different types of the same tool model usually look very similar to each
     other or identical, so it's important to  match the type number from there.

2. Match the "type number" (serial number, engineering number, etc.) to the
correct tool name and icon displayed on the page.

 * * Clicking the picture or tool name will navigate to the parts page for that
     tool or machine.

  After these general guidelines, the next move to make is to become familiar
with the location of model and type numbers for specific tool and machine
brands. We explain the location of model and type numbers for several
manufacturers below. It is also important to remember that model and type number
systems can vary, even within the same brand name, so the examples and
guidelines below for each brand are given in a general sense. However, some
manufacturers have very consistent numbering systems within their product lines.
[Back to top]
Black and Decker
 * Black and Decker uses a typical model#/type number system.
 * The model and type number are usually displayed on the name plate, with the
   model number above the type number (see picture below).
 * Type numbers usually go by "Type 1," "Type 2," etc.



Example Name Plate: The Black and Decker DR550 Type 1



 * Model #:  DR550
 * Type #:  Type 1

[Back to top]
Bosch
 * Bosch uses a typical model number.
 * Bosch calls their type numbers, "engineering numbers."
 * The model number is almost always to the right of the Bosch logo.
 * Bosch engineering numbers usually start with 0601 or 0603.
 * If Bosch makes a service change on a particular tool model, they only change
   the last three digits of the engineering number.

  Bosch is a little different than other brands. Bosch tools have a regular
model number, as shown below.

The Bosch model number is almost always to the right of the Bosch logo. In
addition to a model number, they also have what is called a engineering number.
It is a ten digit number that usually (in the USA) starts with a 0601 or 0603.
There are of course exceptions to this.

The engineering number changes each time Bosch comes out with a new version of
the same model number. For example if they make a service change on a few parts
for the tool, they will change the last three digits of the engineering number
so that you wont order the parts from the old version by mistake. Here are a few
more Bosch nameplates that will help for finding the right model number and
engineering number.


Example Name Plate: The Bosch 32614 (0601916460) Cordless Drill



 * Model #:  32614
 * Engineering # (Type #): 0601916460



So, if you go to our search, and type 32614 as your model number, you will see
two results. One result is for the 0601916460 engineering number, and the other
is for the 0601916470. Just look at the nameplate on your tool, and you will
know which one to pick. [Back to top]   Bostitch
 * Model numbers can be quite different from one to another.
 * Model numbers can be letters, numbers, or combinations.
 * Bostitch tools do not have type numbers.

  Example Name Plate: The Bostitch MFN-201 Flooring Nailer




 * Model #: MFN-201
 * Type #: No Type Number

[Back to top]
  DeWALT
 * DeWALT uses a typical model#/type# system.
 * Model numbers are usually found at the top left of the name plate.
 * Type numbers are usually right below the model numbers.
 * Type numbers usually go by "Type 1," "Type 2," etc.

  Example Name Plate: DeWALT DW938 TYPE 2 18V Cordless Reciprocating Saw:



 * Model #: DW938
 * Type #: Type 2

The model number is usually found at the top left part of the name plate. The
type is usually located one line below the model number. Here is an example:

When DeWALT comes out with the first version of a tool, it is usually a Type 0
or a Type 1. (Occasionally the first version will not have a type, but this is
rare.) Every time they make a change to the parts in the tool, they come out
with a new type. We have seen some tools go up to type 7 or more. If you search
for DW938 on our website, it will bring up a list of all of the possible types.
Just pick the right type and you are in business. [Back to top]
Dirt Devil


 * Newer Dirt Devil vacuums will have Royal vacuum company model plates.
 * Dirt Devil vacuums have letter-number combination model numbers displayed
   some where on the name plate.
 * Their model numbers begin with one or two letters. 
 * Dirt Devil vacuums do not have type numbers.

  Example Model Number Plate: The Dirt Devil UD40180 Ultra Vision Turbo Bagless
Upright Vacuum




 * Model #: UD40180
 * Type #: No Type Number

[Back to top]
  Echo
 * Model numbers start with letters.
 * Echo uses several kinds of type numbers.
 * For accurate parts ordering, some Echo tools use long type numbers that fall
   within a range of compatible type numbers for that tool model.
   

  Example Name Plate: The Echo SRM-265T Straight Shaft Trimmer/Brushcutter
Some Echo tools, like the trimmer pictured below, don't use a simple type number
system that corresponds to only one tool. Instead, Echo has compatible parts for
tool models whose type numbers fall within a certain number range.



 * Model #: SRM-265T
 * Type #: S79812013282

For example, an Echo SRM-265T trimmer with a type number of S73511358741 has
compatible parts common to all SRM-265T trimmers with type numbers that fall in
the S73511001001 - S73511999999. When a visitor to eReplacementParts.com enters
the Echo trimmer model number "SRM-265T" in our model number search field, the
results look like this:

Three type number groupings of Echo trimmers are listed to match the "SRM-265T"
model number search. If your Echo tool uses a type number range system like
this, just take extra care to choose the right type number range for your tool.
Most of the Echo type numbers that use this system are long like the ones used
in these examples. Fortunately, most Echo type numbers are listed clearly
(although not always labeled) next to the tool model number. [Back to top]
  Eureka


 * Eureka model numbers can be just numbers or numbers and letters.
 * Type numbers are a letter and number separated with a dash.
 * For parts matching, type and model numbers are combined.
 * The letter from the type number is usually added to the end of the model
   number.

  Example Eureka Name Plate: The Eureka 4703D Upright Vaccum




 * Model #: 4703
 * Type #: D-1
 * Combined: 4703D

[Back to top]
  Hitachi
 * Hitachi products do not have type numbers.
 * Hitachi model numbers are usually under the Hitachi logo.
 * When Hitachi updates a product, they change the model number to reflect the
   change.
 * When searching for Hitachi parts, the model number is the only number needed.

  Example Name Plate: The Hitachi NR83A2 (s) Full Head Framing Nailer



 * Model #: NR83A2
 * Type #: No Type Number

[Back to top]
Hoover
 * Hoover vacuums have model numbers that start with at least one letter.
 * Longer hoover vacuum model numbers are separated by a dash.
 * The letters that end Hoover model numbers are sometimes left off.
   
 * Hoover vacuums do not have type numbers.

  Example Model Number Plate: The Hoover U2440-900 Nano-Lite Vacuum




 * Model #: U2440-900W
 * Type #: No Type Number

[Back to top]   Karcher
 * Karcher model numbers are combinations of letters and numbers that vary in
   length and usually start with letters.
   
 * Karcher type numbers are almost always eight digit numbers that follow the
   format: x.xxx-xxx.x
   
 * Karcher type numbers can be called part numbers on the tool name plate.
   
 * The numbers are labeled clearly and visibly somewhere on the tool.
 * Both the model and type number is needed when searching for Karcher
   replacment parts.

  Example Name Plate: The Karcher K 2400 HH (1.194-301.0) Pressure Washer Parts




 * Model #: K 2400 HH
 * Type #: 1.194-301.0

[Back to top]   Makita
 * Makita products do not have type numbers.
 * Makita model numbers are usually to the right of the Makita logo.
 * When Makita updates a product, they change the model number to reflect the
   change.
 * When searching for Makita parts, the model number is the only number needed.


Example Name Plate: The Makita 9524NB Grinder



 * Model #: 9524NB
 * Type#: No Type Number

[Back to top]
Metabo
 * Metabo uses a typical model#/type# system.
 * Model numbers and type numbers are usually displayed to the right of the
   Metabo logo on the tool name plate.
 * Type numbers usually begin with a "0" and are usually above the model number.
 * Model numbers usually begin with letters or a word, and are usually beneath
   the type number.


Example Name Plate: The Metabo GE700 (06303420) 710W Die Grinder



 * Model #: GE700
 * Type#: 06303420

[Back to top]
Milwaukee
 * Milwaukee calls their model numbers "catalog numbers" (CAT NO.).
 * Milwaukee calls their type numbers "serial numbers" (SER).
 * Catalog numbers are usually to the left of the Milwaukee logo, in the middle
   of the name plate.
 * Serial numbers are usually displayed in the top-right area of the name plate.
 * Milwaukee serial numbers can be letters, numbers, or both.
 * Note that the entire Milwaukee serial number is not always used to identify
   the type. Sometimes it's just the first few letters or numbers.


Example Name Plate: The Milwaukee 6236 (SER 769F) Two Speed Deep Cut Bandsaw



 * CAT NO. (model number): 6236
 * SER. NO. (type number): 769F

Typing this CAT NO. in our search box will navigate to a page of potential
matches (serial numbers):

Now it's just a matter of matching that Milwaukee tool serial number to matching
serial on the page, like below:

Searching with a Milwaukee tool catalog number, and then matching its serial
number is the same process and searching with a model number an matching type
number. They just go by different names. As seen above, this category number
(model number) pulls up nine different types of this Milwaukee tool with the
same category number. This is what makes matching serial numbers (type numbers)
so important. [Back to top]
Porter Cable

 * Porter-Cable uses a typical model#/type# system.
 * Type numbers go by "Type1," "Type 2" etc.
 * Model number and type number are on different parts of some Porter Cable
   tools, like some air compressors.
 * Model number and type number are normally displayed together, but can be
   arranged differently.
 * Porter Cable products often have serial numbers as well, but these are
   usually not needed for ordering.


Example Name Plate: The Porter Cable BN138 18 Ga. 1-3/8" Brad Nailer



 * Model #: BN138
 * Type #: Type 1

Example Name Plate: The Porter Cable 6912 TYPE 5 D Handle Router



 * Model #: 6912
 * Type #: Type 5

[Back to top]   Ridgid
 * Ridgid products do not have type numbers.
 * Ridgid model numbers are usually in the top-left corner of the name plate.
 * When Ridgid updates a product, they change the model number to reflect the
   change.
 * When searching for Ridgid parts, the model number is the only number needed.


Example Name Plate: The Ridgid R8411503 18V Cordless Hammer Drill



 * Model #: R8411503
 * Type #: No Type Number

[Back to top]
RotoZip
 * RotoZip uses a typical model#/type# system.
 * Model numbers are usually displayed at the top-left of then name plate, under
   the RotoZip logo.
 * Type numbers are usually long and start with "F." The number can be
   unlabeled, as in the example below.


Example Name Plate: The RotoZip RZ20 (F012MD2002) Router

+

 * Model #: RZ20
 * Type #: F012MD2002

[Back to top]
Ryobi Ryobi can be a tricky one. The majority of Ryobi tools just have model
numbers that change with each service update. That means that most Ryobi tools
don't have type numbers, and that type numbers are not needed for ordering.
Here's an example below of a typical Ryobi product that does not have a type
number:
 * Most Ryobi tools and machines will not have type numbers, and only have model
   numbers.
 * When this is the case, the model number is usually displayed near the Ryobi
   logo as seen below.
 * See exception below.

Example Name Plate: Ryobi DP102L 10" Laser Drill Press



 * Model #: DP102L
 * Type #: No Type Number

Most Ryobi tools and machines will be like the above example, having a model
number but no type number. But there is an exception which can make finding some
Ryobi model numbers and type numbers difficult.
*The Ryobi Exception*
 * Some Ryobi tools and machines have an additional number, like a type number.
 * This number is displayed somewhere on the Ryobi tool, often in a very
   difficult place to find, like on the inside of the tool housing, for example.
 * The number is found on a bar code, and is usually referred to as the "bar
   code number."
 * Ryobi's gas-powered tools and lawn-and-garden tools tend to have bar code
   numbers.

Identifying a Ryobi tool is a cinch as long as it doesn't have a bar code
number. If a Ryobi tool does have a bar code number, then finding it may mean
dismantling the tool.

An easy way to find out if your Ryobi product has a bar code number is by
searching its model number on our site.

For Example:

I own a Ryobi 105R Electric Trimmer and I want to find out if the trimmer has a
bar code number. I search eReplacementParts.com by entering the model number,
"105R," into the "Model Number" search field and arrive at the page below:



 

Looks like there are two "types" for my trimmer model. Those numbers in the
parenthesis, (512000001-707000000) and (707000001), those are Ryobi bar code
numbers (type numbers).

If you search a Ryobi model and the search results display more than one type
for that Ryobi product model, then you know that there is a bar code number
somewhere on the tool. Sometimes this number is inside the tool housing and
other areas that are difficult to access. [Back to top]
Skil

 * Skil uses a typical model#/type number system.
 * Model numbers are usually displayed at the top of the Skil name plate.
 * Skil uses the "Type 1" kind of type numbers, or
 * Some Skil type numbers are long serial numbers.
 * Some skill products have both kinds of type numbers.



Example Name Plate: The Skil 5275 (F012527501) 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw



 * Model #: 5275
 * Type #: F012527505

[Back to top]
WORX
 * WORX tools use model numbers that start with "W."
 * Type numbers are not needed to find parts for WORX tools.

  Example Name Plate: The WORX WG304.1 Electric Chainsaw



 * Model #: WG304.1
 * Type #: No Type Number

  Tool model and type number search can begin by entering a tool's model number
in the search field at the top of this page, or the search fields on
eReplacemenParts.com's Home Page.

Type numbers go by "Type1," "Type 2" etc.
Model number and type number are on different parts of some Porter-Cable tools,
like some air compressors.
Model number and type number are normally displayed together, but can be
arranged differently.
Porter-Cable products often have serial numbers as well, but these are usually
not needed for ordering.
