Original Makita 961078-7 — Retaining Ring (EXT) S-18 (external circlip), 18 mm, a genuine Makita replacement part designed to seat in the groove and secure a rotating shaft or assembly.
Precision-formed spring steel with the spring tension and profile matching the original fit, so it slips into the groove cleanly and holds components axial and radial where the tool requires secure retention.
Appears on Makita parts diagrams for multiple reciprocating saws and small power tools — examples include JR3050T / JR3050TX, JR3060T, JR3070CT, the BHR200 rotary hammer and other models such as WR100D and DWR180 — listed across Makita parts drawings.
Sold as the original Makita retaining ring and intended for direct replacement during tool reassembly — install with standard circlip pliers into the correct groove, checking orientation to match the original ring.
If you need the exact fit for a specific model or serial range, compare the part number on your tool’s exploded parts diagram to 961078-7 before installing.
