Genuine Hitachi Stopper Rod — Part No. 971786
Replace a worn or lost depth-stop with this original Hitachi stopper rod (part 971786). The part is the depth-stop/stopper rod used on Hitachi / Metabo‑HPT spline rotary hammers to limit drilling / chipping depth; it installs in the forward handle / depth‑stop assembly and is sold as an individual replacement component.
What to expect: a compact, precision‑made depth stopper that slides into the handle-mounted depth assembly and is secured with the tool’s hex‑socket fastener (the tool commonly uses a 4 mm Allen key for removal/installation). It replaces the factory depth‑stop hardware exactly, so the tool’s original depth settings work as before.
Example Hitachi / Metabo‑HPT models this part commonly fits (examples only): DH38YE , DH40MEY / DH40MEY2, DH45SA / DH45MR, DH50MRY / DH50MR, DH28Y, DH35, DH52ME. Confirm fit by matching your tool’s part list of part number :971786.
Easy swap: remove the side handle / depth collar, slide out the old stopper rod, insert the replacement and retighten the hex‑socket fastener — then test on scrap material to verify depth.
