DeWalt 5170072-08 Spare Part - AXIS

DeWalt part 5170072-08 — replacement axis/hinge pin for DWST08061-1 Tough Box (Type 0). This small cylindrical pivot (catalogued as "AXIS") is the rotating pin that locates and secures the handle/lid assembly on the Tough Box, restoring proper hinge action and alignment when the original pin is bent, worn or missing. It’s listed specifically for use with the DeWalt DWST08061-1 Tough Box (Type 0) and is one component in the 5170072 parts group (which also includes the body and handle assemblies for the same Tough Box model).

Why this part matters: it returns the original DeWalt pivot geometry so the handle and latches operate smoothly and the lid sits square — an easy, direct replacement when the hinge pin has failed.
