This is a hex screw used on a variety of types of lawn and garden equipment. On large machinery, it is often used to mount the gas tank. On smaller items, it tends to be used to clamp the housing together. It can secure items like plastic, metal, brick, and wood together. It measures 5/16-18 x .75 inches and is made of durable metal. In some cases, the screw can become damaged, broken, or stripped, which means it needs to be replaced.A visual inspection will indicate whether the screw is damaged. If it needs to be replaced, a hex wrench can be used to remove it from the equipment. Afterward, the replacement hex screw can be installed with the wrench before being tightened to ensure materials hold together well.This hex screw is a genuine OEM part that is sold individually. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The hex screw is compatible with lawnmowers, wood chippers, log splitters, snowblowers, chainsaws, edgers, tillers, leaf blowers, and string trimmers by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Husky, Broan, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Turf King, Yard-Man, and MasterCut.

With small gasoline-powered tools that require control panels, this hex screw attaches the panel to the handles of the tools. Machined to be durable, important screws such as these take a real beating. In their locations at critical points on the handle, the hex screws are considered "wear items," and thus periodically, they must be replaced. The control panel itself is often a location of extreme forces, jostling, and abrupt movement in unpredictable directions. The constant movement, with sheet metal rubbing against the hex screws from every direction, make wear inevitable. The manufacturers recommend that spare screws of this type be kept on hand if the heavy use of the equipment is expected. Among the gasoline-powered tools that use these screws are snowblowers, yard tractors, mowers, tiller, chippers, shredders, and other tools requiring hand-maneuvered levers. These screws are compatible with a number of equipment brands and manufacturers, including MTD, Ryobi, Poulan, Yard-Man, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, and Yard Machines.
