Description
Overview:
This Blade Spring is a genuine Hitachi/Hikoki replacement for the blade clamp assembly on selected sabre (reciprocating) saws, including the CR13V2 and CR13VBY. Manufactured from high‐tensile spring steel with a protective finish, it maintains consistent blade tension so the blade seats securely and runs true under load. A sound blade spring helps prevent slippage, reduces chatter, and supports smoother, more accurate cuts in wood, metal, and plastics. As an OEM component (No. 326591), it is built to the original specification for a reliable fit and performance. Suitable for tradespeople and DIY users, it is a practical service part to restore cutting efficiency and extend the working life of your saw without altering tool geometry or balance.
