Built for fast assembly screwdriving, maintenance fastening, and bench work, the Chicago Pneumatic CP2810 Direct Drive Pistol Air Screwdriver delivers a higher-speed option within the CP28 direct drive range. Its 2,400 RPM free speed supports quick rundown on screws and threaded fasteners, while the 3.3 ft-lbs maximum working torque gives operators controlled tightening capacity for lighter fastening tasks. The 1/4" hex quick-change drive accepts compatible screwdriver bits and bit holders, helping reduce downtime when switching between fastener styles.
The CP2810 uses a direct drive clutch type, meaning torque is delivered directly through the tool rather than through an automatic shut-off clutch. That makes it a straightforward choice for trigger-controlled fastening where speed, bit access, and simple forward/reverse operation are more important than preset torque shut-off. The aluminum body, steel clutch housing, progressive trigger, and one-hand reverse button support repeat shop use while keeping the tool compact at 7.2" long and 1.8 lb.

- Aluminum body and steel clutch housing provide a practical balance of light handling and durability for repeated shop use.
Applications:
- Light industrial assembly - running screws into panels, brackets, covers, and small assemblies at production benches.
- Maintenance and MRO - removing and installing hardware during equipment service, guard removal, and access-panel work.
- Fabrication and fixture work - fastening small components, jigs, and shop-built assemblies where repeat bit changes are common.
- Automotive and fleet service - interior, trim, accessory, and light shop fastening where pneumatic speed is useful.
- Garage and workshop use - repeat screwdriving tasks where a compact air screwdriver is preferred over a manual screwdriver.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the CP2810 best used for?
A: The CP2810 is best used for faster, lower-torque screwdriving in assembly, maintenance, and shop fastening tasks. Its 2,400 RPM speed helps run screws down quickly, while its 3.3 ft-lbs maximum working torque keeps it suited to lighter fastening work. - Q: Does the CP2810 have torque shut-off?
A: No. Manufacturer data lists the torque control system as none. For applications that require repeatable torque shut-off, choose a shut-off clutch screwdriver matched to the target torque range. - Q: What is the difference between the CP2810 and CP2811?
A: The CP2810 is faster at 2,400 RPM and lower in torque at 3.3 ft-lbs, making it better for quicker light fastening. The CP2811 is slower at 750 RPM and higher in torque at 8.9 ft-lbs, which suits more controlled fastening on larger fasteners. - Q: What bits fit this air screwdriver?
A: The CP2810 uses a 1/4" hex quick-change output drive. Use compatible 1/4" hex screwdriver bits, bit holders, or adapters rated for pneumatic screwdriver use. - Q: What air supply does the CP2810 require?
A: Chicago Pneumatic specifies 90 PSI / 6.3 bar maximum dynamic working pressure, a 1/4" BSP air inlet, and a minimum 5/16" / 8 mm hose diameter for a 16 ft / 5 m hose length.
