Hitachi 956-960 (956960) — Urethane ring, genuine Hitachi replacement
Restore the seal and performance of your demolition hammer with this genuine Hitachi urethane ring (part no. 956-960 / 956960). Made from durable urethane, the ring forms an airtight/dust‑resistant seal in the tool’s mouth/gearcase area and also acts as a small shock/damper element where fitted — a common wear item that can crack or harden after heavy use. The part is supplied individually and is the exact item referenced in Hitachi parts lists for the H65/H70 series.
Typical fitment examples
- Hitachi H65, H65SA, H65SB, H65SB2, H65SC, H65SD, H65SD2
- Hitachi H70SA, H70SD
- Hitachi PH-65A / PH65A (demolition hammer models)
These model fitments are listed in the Hitachi parts exploded views and parts lists under part number 956-960.
Quick notes for repair
- Purpose: restores the mouth/gearcase seal and cushioning where the ring sits.
- Material: resilient urethane for oil and abrasion resistance.
- Supplied: single replacement ring (fits into the location shown on the tool’s parts diagram).
If your hammer is showing oil leaks at the mouth, reduced impact feel, or you see a cracked/dry ring when you open the mouth cover, replacing this urethane ring will usually correct those issues and get the tool working like it should.
