zoobyshoe said:The one I took out of a 3/8 black and decker drill seems to be a 3/16-32 screw, which is a size I have never heard of before. I get a diameter of .186 and 32 TPI.
That seems within tolerance for a 10-32. It an be as small as 0.184 and still meet class 3.

0.1861 would be smack in the middle of grade 2.
