Makita 345837-1 Spare Part - LEVER 6843/6844/BFR550/540/75
Original Makita 345837-1 — Replacement feed lever for autofeed screwdrivers
Restore the screw-feed action in your Makita autofeed screwdriver with the original Makita 345837-1 lever. This small replacement lever is the feed/indexing actuator that lives inside the magazine/feeder assembly; when the factory lever is worn, bent or cracked the tool will misfeed, skip or fail to index the collated screws. The 345837-1 is listed specifically as the LEVER for BFR750-series feed assemblies and is sold as a single, genuine Makita spare.

- Makita 6843, 6844
- Makita BFR540, BFR550, BFR750

- Makita 6915D (and the related DFR/BFR autofeed variants shown in service diagrams)
These model fitments are the ones commonly shown in exploded parts lists and spare-parts fitment tables for the 345837-1 lever.
Specific details & installation notes
- Function: feed/index lever that engages the feeder box and indexes the collated screw strip. It works together with a compression spring and retaining pin in the feeder assembly.
- Location: mounted in the feeder/guide box adjacent to the feeder sleeve, spur gear and stopper plate.
- Condition to check: if your tool jams, misfeeds or the magazine won’t advance, replace the lever and inspect the nearby sleeve, spring and locating pin for wear at the same time.
Simple swap — sold individually
The 345837-1 is supplied as a single genuine Makita lever and is a direct replacement item in the feed mechanism; it installs with the original pin and spring and requires only basic hand tools to change. If the lever is the source of your feed issue, replacing it typically returns the magazine to smooth indexing and consistent screw delivery.
If your model is one of the BFR/DFR or 6843 series listed above, this is the exact original Makita feed lever used in the magazine assembly.
