Makita 961152-1 Spare Part - RETAINING RING S-3 DHS680/BS

Original Makita 961152-1 — Retaining Ring (External) S‑34: a single-piece external circlip designed to seat into the shaft groove and hold rotating components (blade flange/shaft assemblies) securely in place on Makita circular saws.

This genuine Makita part is sold individually and is a direct replacement when the original snap ring is worn, bent or missing; it’s finished and formed for reliable retention and repeated installation/removal with circlip pliers.

Made to the standard circlip form (typically spring steel construction for strength and spring-back reliability), this part is inexpensive to replace and a useful item to have among your power tool parts for quick saw repairs.

Sold as part number 961152-1 (also referenced as 9611521 in some parts listings); verify your saw’s parts diagram or existing retaining ring size before ordering to ensure a match.
