Steel balls are commonly used as detent elements—working together with a spring and a mating groove\/seat—to provide a crisp “click” and hold a component securely in position. If the ball is missing, worn, or damaged, the tool may feel sloppy, fail to hold position, or lose its positive indexing. Replacing the AT0015-40 steel ball helps restore firm, reliable engagement after servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the steel
