Dewalt 180502 Latch Spring

Product Description

The DEWALT 180502 is a latch spring designed as a replacement component for DEWALT power tools. Latch springs provide the tension and return force needed to keep latches seated, engaged, or reset after actuation. This type of small internal component is a common wear or damage item in tools with locking mechanisms, chucks, blade guards, or housing latches. Licensed service technicians and tool repair professionals typically source these parts to restore a tool to factory function without replacing the full assembly.

The 180502 latch spring is suited for use during bench-level repair of DEWALT power tools where the original spring has lost tension, deformed, or broken. It is typically installed as part of a targeted component repair rather than a full subassembly swap. Tool repair shops, authorized service centers, and experienced tradespeople performing their own equipment maintenance are the primary installers of this part.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM replacement latch spring for compatible DEWALT power tools. Verify fitment against the specific tool model and parts diagram before ordering, as latch springs may vary across tool families.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tool repair technician or authorized DEWALT service center. Disconnect the tool from all power sources and remove any battery pack before beginning disassembly. Refer to the applicable DEWALT parts diagram for correct spring orientation and seating position.
