Dewalt 116970 Contact Arm Spring

Product Description

The DEWALT 116970 is a contact arm spring designed as a replacement component for DEWALT power tools. The contact arm spring controls the movement and return of the contact arm assembly, which is the nose-piece mechanism that must be depressed against a workpiece before the tool can fire a fastener. This spring ensures consistent tension and reliable reset of the contact arm after each cycle. Installation is typically performed by authorized service technicians or experienced trades professionals performing tool maintenance and repair.

This spring is suited for service and repair applications where the original contact arm spring has lost tension, broken, or failed to return the contact arm to its safe rest position. It is a direct OEM replacement part intended to restore the tool to factory operating condition. Trade professionals performing nailer or stapler maintenance will find this part essential for restoring reliable sequential or contact-trip firing function.

Installation Notes

Follow the applicable tool service manual for proper spring seating and contact arm reassembly procedures.
