Milwaukee 1/4-20 x 3/4 in. Torx Taptite Screw
Model Number: 06-82-5382
The Milwaukee 06-82-5382 is a genuine OEM 1/4-20 x 3/4 in. Torx TAPTITE Screw, a threaded fastener used to assemble and secure components within a range of Milwaukee tools. The screw has a 1/4-20 thread, a 1/4 in. diameter with 20 threads per inch in the National Coarse series, a 3/4 in. length, and a Torx drive recess that is driven with a Torx bit. TAPTITE refers to a thread-forming, or thread-rolling, screw designed for metal: rather than cutting threads like a machine screw or requiring a pre-tapped hole, its special thread profile rolls and forms mating threads in a metal boss by displacing material, which creates a strong, tight, vibration-resistant joint. This is the metal counterpart to a Plastite screw, which forms threads in plastic, so a TAPTITE screw is used where the tool threads into a metal component such as a gearcase or die-cast housing. As a larger 1/4-20 fastener, it is used at higher-load fastening points that need more clamping strength than the smaller machine-screw sizes provide. The Torx drive resists cam-out and allows higher installation torque without stripping the head, which is exactly what a production assembly and field-service fastener both need. Choosing the genuine Milwaukee OEM screw matters because the thread form, diameter, and length are matched to the metal boss it forms threads into; a wrong or damaged screw can fail to re-form into the existing threads, strip the boss, or fail to hold under the vibration of a running tool.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, and because this TAPTITE screw is standard hardware that appears on many different Milwaukee tools in varying quantities and locations, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering to confirm this exact screw size and the quantity your tool uses at each position. Do not assume screw sizes by appearance, since a tool often uses several screws of similar size in different lengths, drives, head styles, or thread-forming types, and the diagram is what identifies the correct part number and confirms the head style at each location. Any screw that has been stripped, cross-threaded, or reused until its thread form is worn should be replaced rather than reinstalled, since a worn TAPTITE screw will not re-form cleanly into the metal boss. When reassembling, drive the screw into the existing formed threads and seat it firmly without overtightening.
