Powr-Flite Squeegee Blade B...

Product details
Part WD172 is a button-head screw in M8 thread, 20L length, used to clamp a squeegee blade in place on Powr-Flite squeegee assemblies.
Fasteners on a squeegee assembly see far more cycles than most hardware on a machine: every blade flip to a fresh edge, and every full blade swap, means these screws come out and go back in. Turning the same screw over and over with a bit that has lost its edge eventually rounds off the head or strips the thread, so a screw that will not seat firmly anymore is not worth fighting, it is worth replacing. Keep a handful of spares on hand so a routine blade change never turns into downtime waiting on a single screw.
A plated screw that has started to show surface rust after repeated exposure to floor-cleaning chemicals is worth swapping even if the threads still turn freely, since a corroded screw shears more easily under the next tightening than a clean one does. Snug button-head screws evenly across the blade rather than fully tightening one end first, so the blade seats flat against its holder instead of being pulled slightly out of line by an uneven clamp-up.
