Milwaukee Spring Cover
Model Number: 31-15-0511
The Milwaukee 31-15-0511 is a genuine OEM Spring Cover, a component of the tool-free blade clamp mechanism on Milwaukee reciprocating saws and HACKZALL saws. On a SAWZALL or HACKZALL with a QUIK-LOK style blade clamp, the blade is gripped and released without tools by a mechanism built around a torsion spring, cams, a lock pin, and a sleeve on the spindle, and the spring cover is the part that seats over the spindle and covers and retains the torsion spring within that assembly. It positions and caps the spring so the blade clamp mechanism holds together and operates correctly, letting the spring provide the tension the clamp needs to grip a blade securely and release it when the operator rotates the clamp. Because it is part of a mechanism that is worked on every blade change and takes the dust and debris of cutting, it can wear or be lost during a blade clamp service, at which point the clamp may not hold the spring properly or operate smoothly. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM spring cover restores proper assembly and operation of the tool-free blade clamp.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering to confirm this is the correct spring cover for your tool. This spring cover is a common part used across a range of Milwaukee reciprocating saws and HACKZALL saws with the QUIK-LOK blade clamp, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. It works together with the torsion spring, ordered separately as 40-50-0161, the front and rear cams, the lock pin, the sleeve, and the front cap that make up the blade clamp assembly, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers. During assembly the spring cover goes onto the spindle first and the torsion spring slides on after it, so follow the correct service sequence, and inspect the spring and cams when servicing the spring cover since these parts work together in the clamp.
