Dewalt 1023456 Slide Detent

Product Description

The DEWALT 1023456 is a slide detent, a small but critical mechanical component used in power tools to provide positive locking or indexing positions during sliding motion. Slide detents create tactile resistance that holds a moving part in place at defined positions, preventing unintended movement during operation. This type of replacement part is typically installed by tool repair technicians or experienced tradespeople performing maintenance or restoration on DEWALT power tools. It is a genuine DEWALT replacement part designed to restore original function.

The 1023456 slide detent is suited for use in DEWALT power tools that rely on sliding mechanisms with indexed or locking positions. It is commonly needed during tool refurbishment when the original detent has worn, broken, or lost its retention force, causing the sliding assembly to move freely without locking. No model-specific or system-specific compatibility data was provided in the input.

Key Features

• Provides positive indexing and retention in sliding tool mechanisms
• Genuine DEWALT replacement component for factory-spec fit
• Restores proper locking function to worn or damaged slide assemblies
• Compact form factor designed for tool interior installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement slide detent for compatible DEWALT power tools with sliding mechanisms. Consult the specific tool service manual or DEWALT parts diagram to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tool repair technician familiar with DEWALT power tool disassembly procedures. Disconnect and unplug the tool completely before beginning any internal service work. Small internal components like detents may require jeweler screwdrivers, snap ring pliers, or needle-nose pliers depending on the tool model. Refer to the applicable DEWALT service manual for disassembly sequence and reassembly torque guidance.
