Restore the direction/engagement action in a Makita ratchet head with this genuine Makita 140K70-4 "lever complete." This is the complete direction/drive lever used inside the ratchet head assembly — the part that pivots to select forward/reverse and engages the pawl mechanism. It installs into the head on the pivot pin/screw and replaces worn, bent, or broken levers so the tool will switch direction and hold drive torque properly.
Key details
- Part number: 140K70-4 (listed as Lever Complete / Lever Cpl.).
- Function: direction/engagement lever for the ratchet head (direct replacement for the internal lever assembly).
- Fitment examples: used on Makita DWR180 and the WR100 series (WR100, WR100D) and several RW01/WR100 variants such as RW01R1, RW01Z, WR100DWY and WR100DZ — check your tool’s model plate to confirm.
- Condition: listed as the original Makita lever complete (sold as the exact replacement part for the head assembly).
Why this part matters
- Replaces the small but critical lever that controls drive direction; restoring one prevents slipping, loss of drive, or inability to change direction.
- Fits directly into the original pivot/screw location for a clean, no-modification repair.
If your ratchet head is sticking, failing to hold direction, or the lever is visibly damaged, this genuine Makita 140K70-4 lever complete is the correct replacement to restore proper operation for the compatible WR100 / RW01 / DWR180 family of Makita ratchets.
