Could someone give me some info on screws please.

I need to replace a screw that I have lost from a brand new Saber (make) jigsaw, one that holds the blade in place.

I have found I can buy them on ebay but how do I identify what size I need.

this is the screw type  

M4 M5 M6 M8 BLACK SELF COLOUR 12.9 HIGH TENSILE ALLEN BOLT SOCKET CAP SCREWS

Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Halfords have some but I've go to buy a large selection box to get one or two screws.

The jigsaw only cost £15.99 so I am trying to decide now whether just to buy another jigsaw but a good one or keep looking for screws.

Ebay here I come.........

Jigsaw or screws?    Jigsaw or screws?  Jigsaw or screws?

At least I have established what it is call, it is a cap strew, High tensile something or other and size m4

Haha. 😁

I went to B & Q today, they told me they don't sell them but the did tell me what they were and sent me to morris mica a local DIY and old type iron monger, they didn't sell them.
They said yes to trying Halfords too so I went there took the jigsaw in my handbag lol 😂

As I said nothing but large quantities. So I have found a PKT of five on eBay for £1.15 fee post.

So thank you everyone for helping me search for and find what I need 😀
