Milwaukee 8-16 x 1/2 in. Pan Head Plastite Torx Screw
Model Number: 06-82-7409
The Milwaukee 06-82-7409 is a genuine OEM 8-16 x 1/2 in. Pan Head Plastite Torx Screw for use in compatible Milwaukee tools. The 8-16 designation identifies this as a #8 diameter screw with 16 threads per inch. "Plastite" is a thread-forming screw specifically engineered to displace and form its own mating threads as it is driven into a pre-drilled or molded pilot hole in plastic — eliminating the need for a pre-tapped thread in the receiving plastic boss. The thread-forming process creates a precise, interference-fit thread that provides strong resistance to loosening under vibration and dynamic operating loads common in power tool housings. The Torx drive delivers superior torque transfer and reduced cam-out compared to Phillips drives for controlled installation torque. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, slightly rounded head with a flat bearing surface above the fastened surface. The 1/2 in. length provides a shallow-depth fastener connection suited for thin-wall housing panels, light cover plates, and other short-reach fastener locations within the tool body. A stripped, broken, or missing screw requires replacement to restore proper housing assembly integrity and safe tool operation.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM Plastite screw ensures the correct 8-16 thread-forming profile, 1/2 in. length, Torx drive, and pan head geometry for the plastic housing interface it serves. Non-OEM screws may not match the original Plastite thread profile, leading to improper thread formation in the plastic boss or insufficient clamping force at the housing joint. Always verify your catalog number and serial number on Milwaukee's website before ordering to confirm this is the correct screw for your specific unit.
