Genuine Makita retaining ring S-10 — part 961006-2 — a small but critical snap ring used to lock shafts, sleeves and bearings in place on compatible Makita grinders and rotary hammers. The S-10 designation means it’s the S-series ring sized for roughly a 10 mm shaft; these rings are made as spring/snap rings (steel or stainless variants) so they hold up to vibration in rotating assemblies.
