spring is the small but vital component that pushes the spindle lock pin back out of the gear after you release the lock, ensuring the pad can spin freely once again.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nWith time and heavy use, the original spring can weaken, lose tension or become damaged, leaving the lock slow to release or unreliable in operation. \r\nFitting the POL05-18 spring restores the correct return force on the lock pin so the spindle locks positively when you need it – and releases cleanly when you are ready to get back to polishing.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Features --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n

that feels lazy or slow to pop back out, a button that does not return fully, or a pad that is reluctant to spin freely immediately after the lock is released. \r\nIn some cases the spring may be missing altogether after a previous repair, leaving the lock pin without proper return force.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\nThe POL05-18 spring is designed specifically for the Tork Craft POL05 polisher, so its tension, length and diameter are all matched to the original lock mechanism. \r\nUsing the correct spring helps the lock system behave as intended and works best when combined with a clean, lightly lubricated pin and bore.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Tip: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhen fitting a new POL05-18 self-locking pin spring, take the opportunity to clean any compound dust and old grease out of the spindle lock bore. \r\nLightly lubricate the pin with a suitable non-gumming lubricant, fit the new spring and test the action with the tool unplugged by pressing the button and rotating the spindle by hand – the pin should engage cleanly and spring back firmly every time.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSafety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- Safety
