Chicago Pneumatic Straight Cushion Clutch Air Screwdriver | CP2822 | 1300 RPM | 1.5 - 2.0 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Hex Drive

Built for controlled assembly fastening in a straight inline format, the Chicago Pneumatic CP2822 Straight Cushion Clutch Air Screwdriver gives operators a compact pneumatic tool for light-to-medium screwdriving where access, balance, and repeat handling matter. Its 1,300 RPM free speed supports quick rundown without moving into high-speed, low-torque screwdriver territory, while the verified 1.5-4.4 ft-lbs torque range provides practical fastening capacity for screws and smaller threaded fasteners. The 1/4" hex quick-change drive accepts compatible screwdriver bits and bit holders, helping operators move between fastening tasks with minimal downtime.

The CP2822 uses a cushion clutch, a non shut-off clutch that helps soften the reaction as a fastener seats while still leaving final fastening control to the operator. Its straight body is useful for vertical fastening, fixture work, and bench assembly where an inline grip gives better alignment with the screw axis than a pistol handle. With a lightweight aluminum body, steel clutch housing, and push-start operation, the CP2822 is suited to repetitive fastening where the operator wants controlled engagement and quick reversibility in a simple pneumatic screwdriver.

FAQs:

• Q: What does cushion clutch mean on the CP2822?
  A: A cushion clutch is a non shut-off clutch that helps soften fastening reaction as the screw seats. It does not automatically stop at a preset torque, so the operator still controls final fastening based on the application.
• Q: Is the CP2822 a torque shut-off screwdriver?
  A: No. Manufacturer data lists the torque control system as non shut-off clutch. For repeatable preset torque shut-off, choose a shut-off clutch screwdriver matched to the required torque range.
• Q: What is the verified torque range for the CP2822?
  A: Verified Chicago Pneumatic data lists the CP2822 torque range as 1.5-4.4 ft-lbs / 2-6 Nm. The supplied title listed 1.5-2.0 ft-lbs, which appears to mix or truncate the imperial and metric torque values.
• Q: What bits fit the CP2822?
  A: The CP2822 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 this screwdriver require?
  A: Chicago Pneumatic specifies 90 PSI / 6.3 bar maximum dynamic working pressure, a 1/4" BSP air inlet, and a minimum 1/4" / 6.3 mm hose diameter for a 16 ft / 5 m hose length.
