Original DeWalt part 820261 — replacement locating block / small mounting block designed to restore proper alignment and securement where a broken or missing plastic block is preventing your tool from operating correctly. The piece is a compact, injection-molded polymer block with molded locating bosses and screw recesses so it snaps or screws into place on the housing; it’s intended to sit between adjacent components and keep them indexed under load. Ideal when you need a single, direct replacement to get a unit back to service quickly.
Key details

- Form factor: compact rectangular block with molded bosses and a countersunk screw recess — designed to mate to existing threaded bosses or through-holes on the tool.
- Use: replacement piece for repair and reassembly; works with common housing screw sizes and boss spacings on bench and clamp-style assemblies.
- Suitable buyer: anyone repairing a damaged housing or internal bracket and needing a reliable original DeWalt replacement to restore fit and function. This part is listed in power tool parts catalogs as part number 820261 and commonly described as a “block.”
Example fitments (where this part-number appears)
- Catalog listings for part number 820261 commonly show it as a “block” used on bench/workmate style assemblies and similar tools; some fitment lists include older workbench/clamp models (example listings for similar part codes: Black & Decker WM300, WM301, WM550). These catalog cross-references indicate the part is a small locating/block component used across multiple bench and clamp product lines. If your DeWalt tool uses the same block geometry, this will be the direct replacement you need.
