Description
Overview:
This leaf spring is a genuine Makita spare part designed for selected reciprocating saws, including the BJR181 and JR3050T. Manufactured from durable metal, it provides the necessary tension within the saw's internal mechanism so the tool runs smoothly and reliably during cutting. Replacing a worn or fatigued spring helps restore consistent performance, reduces play in moving parts, and supports accurate, controlled operation. Supplied under Makita part number 232222-6, it is suitable for professional users and DIY maintenance. If your saw is losing tension or feels less precise, fitting a new leaf spring is a straightforward fix that can extend the life of the tool and keep it working efficiently on site or in the workshop.
