Milwaukee Retaining Ring
Model Number: 34-60-3680
The Milwaukee 34-60-3680 is a genuine OEM External Retaining Ring for use in compatible Milwaukee tools. Retaining rings, also known as snap rings or circlips, are precision-stamped spring steel fasteners that seat into a machined groove on a shaft to create a removable mechanical shoulder that holds bearings, gears, bushings, and other components in their correct axial position. As an external ring, it snaps onto the outside of a shaft and grips the groove, providing a simple, compact, and reliable method of axial retention without threads, adhesives, or complex fasteners. Though it is a small part, it does a critical job: a retaining ring that is deformed, sprung, stretched, or missing can no longer hold its associated component in position, which can allow that component to shift or come loose and lead to further internal damage during operation. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM ring ensures the correct diameter, thickness, and spring rate to seat securely in the groove and retain the component reliably.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, and because this retaining ring is common hardware used across a very wide range of Milwaukee tools, including SAWZALL and Super SAWZALL reciprocating saws, HACKZALL saws, and rotary hammers, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering to confirm this is the correct ring for the shaft and position you are servicing. Do not order by appearance, since retaining rings that look similar can differ in shaft size and thickness, and the diagram is what identifies the correct part at each position. A ring that has been removed, stretched, or distorted during disassembly should be replaced rather than reused, since a ring that has lost its spring tension may not hold securely, and installing it correctly typically calls for the appropriate retaining ring pliers. Refer to your tool's parts diagram to confirm the correct ring, its location, and the component it retains.
