Titan Chainsaw Tension Screw (Screwfix)

I have had my Titan Chainsaw Electric from Screwfix for a while now. I think I messed up by overtightening it and forgetting to loosen it last week. The chain kept coming off and when I looked carefully realised the tension screw is bent see the screenshot below. My questions are as follows:

  • Can I get a like for like or suitable replacement for this screw anywhere? Online searches return some results but they are out of stock.
  • If I can get a replacement then is it likely to return the chainsaw to working order? Looking at the chainsaw everything looks ok, I don't see any damage to the chain mounting section.

    Have a Titan chainsaw myself. Can't recall the thread size or length of the screw, and CBA to go and measure it (it's cold out in the shed).
    But if you take the bent screw to a local ironmonger, any cheese head screw of the same length & thread will do the job.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
  • I lost mine, found something similar in a jar of nuts and bolts, seems to be working okay.
    Think first of your goal, then make it happen!
