Description
Overview:
This Spring (B) is a genuine Hitachi/Hikoki replacement for reciprocating (sabre) saws, engineered to restore correct tension within the saw's mechanism. Made from durable metal, it supports consistent stroke action and helps keep internal linkages operating smoothly. Suitable for popular models such as the CR 13V and CR 18DSL, it is designed to fit precisely as a direct replacement for OEM No. 318483. By maintaining the right preload, the spring contributes to steady cutting performance, reliable blade movement, and reduced disruption from wear. It is a practical service part for tradespeople and DIY users who need to keep their saws cutting accurately and safely, minimising downtime while preserving the original handling and feel of the tool.
Key Features:
- Genuine Hitachi/Hikoki part for assured compatibility and quality (OEM No. 318483)
- Durable metal construction for long service life under repeated cycling
- Maintains correct tension for smooth reciprocating action and stable blade control
- Direct like-for-like replacement with no modifications required

- Compatible across multiple current and legacy Hitachi/Hikoki models
Typical Applications:
