Milwaukee 8-32 x 5/16 in. Pan Head Taptite Torx Screw
Model Number: 06-82-8828
The Milwaukee 06-82-8828 is a genuine OEM 8-32 x 5/16 in. Pan Head Taptite Torx Screw for use in compatible Milwaukee tools. Taptite is a thread-forming screw specifically engineered to displace and form its own mating threads as it is driven into a pre-drilled pilot hole in metal — eliminating the need for a pre-tapped thread in the receiving material. 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 assemblies. The #8-32 designation identifies this as a #8 diameter screw with 32 threads per inch — a fine-pitch imperial thread suited for securing housing panels, switch brackets, and internal components throughout tool assemblies. The Torx drive delivers superior torque transfer and reduced cam-out compared to Phillips or slotted drives. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, slightly rounded head with a flat bearing surface above the fastened material. The very short 5/16 in. length makes this one of the most compact Taptite screws in Milwaukee's lineup — suited for extremely thin-wall panels, light cover plates, and shallow-depth fastener locations where only minimal thread engagement depth is available. A stripped, broken, or missing screw requires replacement to restore proper assembly integrity and safe tool operation.
Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM Taptite screw ensures the correct 8-32 thread-forming profile, 5/16 in. length, Torx drive, and pan head geometry for the fastener interface it serves. Non-OEM screws may not match the original Taptite thread profile or length, leading to improper thread formation in the metal boss or insufficient clamping force at the 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.
