Milwaukee Spring Clip
Model Number: 42-70-0480
The Milwaukee 42-70-0480 is a genuine OEM Spring Clip used across a range of Milwaukee M12 cordless tools. The spring clip is a steel clip that seats inside the tool housing and uses its spring tension to hold a component in position, and it interlocks with the housing halves so the assembly stays tight. It installs into one housing half before the tool is closed up, and its spring interlock has to line up with the housing for the halves to seat correctly. Because it is a thin steel spring part that holds a component against the tool's running load and vibration, it can lose tension, shift, or break over time, at which point the part it secures can move or the housing can loosen. Replacing it with the genuine Milwaukee OEM clip restores the correct spring tension and housing fit, where an off-spec clip may not seat in the housing or hold the part.
This spring clip is used in more than one Milwaukee tool, including the 2426 and 2526 M12 Multi-Tools, the 2486-20 M12 FUEL Die Grinder, and other compact M12 tools. On assembly, it installs into the left housing half before the right half is fitted, and its spring interlock must match the housing so the halves close square before the screws are tightened. Because it serves several different tools and the parts around it vary by model, order this clip by its exact part number from your tool's service parts diagram and confirm the surrounding parts there. 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.
