Makita 231956-8 — genuine Makita "Ring Spring 6" (part number 231956-8). This small retaining ring is the original Makita circlip used to secure a shaft/gear inside the gearbox/spindle area; it's listed as "RING SPRING 6" in Makita parts diagrams and is sized for components marked "6" (for use with a nominal 6 mm shaft/groove). Supplied as a single replacement ring spring, it’s the exact Makita item that drops into the groove to hold gears or sleeves in position during reassembly.
Fits (examples from Makita parts lists): DDA341, DDA351, BDA341, BDA351, BTL060/BTL061, DA331D and several small Makita cordless/angle drill models where the parts diagram lists 231956-8. Check your tool’s exploded parts drawing — this item commonly appears in the gearbox/spindle section.
