Makita 232180-6 — Leaf (lead) spring — original Makita replacement part. A small, precision-formed leaf spring used in the tool‑holder/retainer assembly of Makita rotary/hammer hammers; it provides the spring tension that keeps the tool holder and chuck components seated correctly so the striker and bit operate smoothly.
Fits (listed) models: HM1202C and HR5001C — the part appears in the official parts breakdowns as "Leaf spring 41" under the tool‑holder components for those models. Sold as a single replacement part (part no. 232180‑6).
Details you’ll care about for repair: this is the original Makita leaf/lead spring specified in the parts diagram (not a generic clip). It’s a hardened/formed spring element made to the tool’s tolerances and supplied individually so you can replace just the worn spring without disturbing the rest of the assembly. Simple to fit during normal disassembly of the tool‑holder/chuck area — replace if the tool shows play, misalignment, or intermittent bit release.
If you’re collecting Makita spare parts for a repair, the 232180‑6 is the exact numbered spring called out for these hammer/rotary models; it’s a low-cost power tool parts replacement that restores proper function when the original spring has fatigued.
