Milwaukee 05-88-0027 M4 X 0.7 Pan Head Plastite T-20 Screw

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 05-88-0027 is an M4 x 0.7 x 16mm pan head Plastite T-20 screw used as an OEM replacement fastener in Milwaukee power tool assemblies. Plastite screws are thread-forming fasteners designed to cut their own mating threads into plastic housings without requiring a pre-tapped hole, creating a secure, vibration-resistant hold. The T-20 Torx drive allows consistent torque application in tight assembly spaces. This fastener is installed by service technicians performing Milwaukee tool repairs and rebuilds, and by facilities maintenance staff handling tool refurbishment in shop environments.

This screw is a direct OEM replacement part for Milwaukee power tools and accessories. It is commonly used in housing assemblies, gear case covers, and internal component mounting positions where M4 metric thread-forming fasteners are specified. Technicians sourcing this part for service and repair work should cross-reference the parent tool model's parts diagram to confirm correct placement before installation.

Key Features

• Plastite thread-forming design cuts threads directly into plastic bosses, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes
• M4 x 0.7 metric thread pitch suitable for standard M4 plastic boss diameters
• 16mm length provides adequate grip depth in typical tool housing wall thicknesses
• T-20 Torx drive reduces cam-out risk during assembly and disservice
• OEM Milwaukee part ensures dimensional conformance with original tool specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for Milwaukee power tool and accessory assemblies requiring an M4 x 0.7 x 16mm pan head Plastite T-20 screw. Consult the specific tool model service diagram to verify fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of OEM tool fasteners should be performed by qualified power tool service technicians. Power down and disconnect the tool from all power sources, including battery packs, before beginning any disassembly. Use a calibrated T-20 Torx driver and apply only hand-torque appropriate for plastic boss engagement — do not overdrive, as thread-forming screws can strip plastic bosses if over-torqued. Retain and inspect all existing hardware before replacement to confirm the correct fastener is being used.
