Original Makita tapping screw 266492-5 — M3 × 8 mm self‑tapping steel screw with a black finish and cross‑recess drive. Designed to form threads in Makita housings and internal brackets, it restores correct clamping and resists vibration loosening in handheld tools. Size: M3 thread, 8 mm overall length; drive: cross‑recess (Phillips‑style); material/finish: steel with a dark protective coating.
