Milwaukee 06-82-0055 Torx Plastite Screw 8-16 T-20

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 06-82-0055 is an 8-16 Torx Plastite screw with a T-20 drive head, designed for use in power tool assembly and repair applications. Plastite screws are thread-forming fasteners engineered to create their own mating threads in thermoplastic materials, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes. This screw is a genuine Milwaukee OEM part used in the assembly and service of Milwaukee power tools and accessories. Technicians and repair shops performing tool reconditioning or housing replacement work will find this fastener essential for maintaining factory-spec assembly integrity.

This fastener is used in the reassembly or repair of Milwaukee power tool housings and plastic components where a T-20 Torx drive is specified. It is appropriate for service technicians, authorized repair centers, and trade professionals performing in-field or shop repairs on Milwaukee equipment. The 8-16 size designation refers to the screw diameter and thread pitch combination suited for engagement in thermoplastic tool bodies.

Key Features

• Torx Plastite thread-forming design creates secure threads directly in thermoplastic without pre-tapping
• T-20 Torx drive head for precise torque application and reduced cam-out
• Size 8-16 designation for compatibility with Milwaukee OEM plastic housing assemblies
• Genuine Milwaukee OEM replacement part for factory-spec repairs

Compatibility

Designed as a genuine OEM replacement fastener for Milwaukee power tools and accessories requiring an 8-16 Torx Plastite screw with a T-20 drive. Consult the specific tool service documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified service technician familiar with power tool disassembly and reassembly procedures. Always disconnect and de-energize the tool, removing the battery pack or unplugging the cord, before beginning any fastener service. Use a calibrated T-20 Torx driver or bit and apply steady, controlled torque to avoid stripping the formed threads in the plastic housing. Do not reuse this fastener in a previously formed thread hole if the threads show signs of wear or damage.
