Description
Overview:
The Shoulder Pin 256491-5 is a genuine Makita OEM component for heavy‐duty angle grinders, including the GA7020 and GA9040S. This precision‐made shoulder pin is manufactured from durable steel to withstand the vibration, load, and heat typically generated during grinding work.
