Product Description
Milwaukee M8 Flange Nut
Model Number: 05-55-5001
The Milwaukee 05-55-5001 is a genuine OEM M8 Flange Nut replacement part for Milwaukee M18 chainsaw tools. The flange nut is the fastener that secures the bar and chain cover to the chainsaw body, keeping the guide bar and chain properly retained during cutting operation. A lost, stripped, or damaged flange nut leaves the bar cover unsecured, creating an unsafe condition and making the chainsaw inoperable until the fastener is replaced.
The integrated flange on this nut distributes clamping force over a wider surface area compared to a standard hex nut, providing a more secure and reliable hold on the bar cover assembly. Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM flange nut ensures the correct M8 thread specification, proper flange diameter, and the right torque characteristics for safe bar cover retention. Non-OEM fasteners may not meet Milwaukee's thread or dimensional specifications, risking loose bar cover retention during chainsaw operation.
