Milwaukee Housing Connection Clip
Model Number: 42-70-0058
The Milwaukee 42-70-0058 is a genuine OEM Housing Connection Clip, also listed as a Housing Clip or Housing Connector, used across a wide range of Milwaukee M12 cordless tools. The clip is a small steel spring clip that joins the handle housing sections and secures them together, and on many M12 tools it is the clip that holds the battery in the handle. It seats into slots in the handle set, with a tab that snaps into a cavity to lock it in place, so the housing stays tight and the battery stays retained through the tool's working life. Because it is a thin steel clip that takes repeated handling and battery insertion, its tab can bend or fatigue, at which point the housing can loosen or the battery no longer clips in securely. Replacing it with the genuine Milwaukee OEM clip restores a tight, secure housing connection, where an off-spec clip may not seat in the slots or hold the tab.
This is the improved clip design used on newer M12 handle sets, and it is used across hundreds of Milwaukee M12 tools, including drills, impact drivers, impact wrenches, and hammer drills. It replaces the obsolete original-design clip, part number 42-70-0055, and is the preferred upgrade, but there is one caveat: the 42-70-0058 is made for newer handle sets that have two slots, a dimple, and a tab cavity, while an early handle set with only slots must still use the original 42-70-0055. So check your handle set, or your tool's service parts diagram, to confirm which clip your tool takes. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number.
