Milwaukee M3 x 16mm Pan Head T-10 Machine Screw
Model Number: 05-81-0277
The Milwaukee 05-81-0277 is a genuine OEM M3 x 16mm pan head T-10 machine screw, a black steel fastener used to hold housing and structural components together in Milwaukee tools. It has an M3 thread, a 16mm length, a pan head with a flat bearing surface, and a T-10 Torx drive, which transfers torque well and resists cam-out during installation compared with Phillips or slotted drives. It is documented as a motor housing fastener, tightened to about 8.7 in-lbs (10 kgf-cm), where several of these screws clamp the housing sections around the tool's internal components. Using the genuine Milwaukee OEM screw ensures the correct thread, length, head, drive, and grade for the joint, where a mismatched screw can strip the drive recess, fail to seat, or not clamp the housing securely. Many Milwaukee fasteners share a similar look in different sizes, pitches, and drives, so order this one by its exact part number.
This screw is a common Milwaukee fastener rather than a part unique to one tool: it is used across multiple Milwaukee tools, including as a motor housing screw, and Milwaukee's application list for a shared fastener like this is not intended to be complete. For that reason, confirm the figure position and the quantity required on your specific tool's service parts diagram before ordering, since different tools use different numbers of these screws at different positions. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. If you are not certain this is the correct screw for your tool, look up your catalog and serial number using Milwaukee's online parts lookup before purchasing.
