Description
Overview:
This Lock Lever is a Genuine Makita replacement part for DJR187 and DJR160 reciprocating (sabre) saws, supplied to original equipment specification under OEM No. 456176-5. It is a precisely moulded, engineering‐grade polymer component designed to withstand vibration, impact and dust typical of site and workshop use. The lever's role is to positively secure mating parts within the saw's mechanism, helping to prevent unwanted movement and supporting safe, predictable operation. As a direct-fit Makita component, it restores correct function when the original lever has worn, cracked or gone missing, keeping the tool reliable for day‐to‐day work. Suitable for both trade and DIY users, this part helps maintain performance and extends the service life of the saw without altering its original design or feel.
Key Features:
- Genuine Makita part (OEM 456176-5) for assured compatibility and performance
- Designed for DJR160 and DJR187 reciprocating saws; fits without modification
- High-strength polymer construction for durability and impact resistance
- Maintains secure engagement of internal components for safer operation
- Helps restore factory function after wear or accidental damage
- Smooth, positive actuation thanks to accurate moulding and tight tolerances
- Resists dust, debris and workshop contaminants for longer service life
- Straightforward replacement using common hand tools and standard workshop practices
Typical Applications:
Used whenever stability of the saw's mechanism is essential, including cutting timber, plastics, non‐ferrous metal, and mild steel sections on site, in the workshop, or during property maintenance. Valuable for renovation, demolition, plumbing and electrical first-fix, and for landscaping or garden tasks such as pruning and clearing. Ideal as part of routine maintenance to keep a heavily used reciprocating saw operating safely and consistently.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a safety latch, retaining lever, latch arm, mechanism latch, engagement lever, actuator lever, or component retainer within parts lists and servicing guides. These terms describe the same functional piece that secures parts of the reciprocating saw mechanism so it operates smoothly and stays correctly aligned during use.
