Chicago Pneumatic Straight Shut-Off Clutch Air Screwdriver | CP2824 | 1500 RPM | 0.4 - 1.2 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Hex Drive

Built for light assembly fastening where repeatability matters, the Chicago Pneumatic CP2824 Straight Shut-Off Clutch Air Screwdriver gives operators a compact inline tool for low-torque screwdriving work. Its 1,500 RPM free speed supports fast rundown on small screws, while the 0.4-1.2 ft-lbs torque range helps keep fastening force controlled on lighter threaded assemblies. The 1/4" hex quick-change drive accepts compatible screwdriver bits and bit holders, allowing fast bit changes at benches, fixtures, and maintenance stations.

The CP2824 uses a shut-off pneumatic valve with a ball clutch, meaning the tool stops the drive once the set torque is reached instead of relying only on operator feel. This makes it better suited than a direct drive or cushion clutch screwdriver for applications where fastening consistency is important. With its straight body, lever start, reversible operation, aluminum body, and steel clutch housing, the CP2824 is a practical choice for repeat production work, small assembly, and controlled service fastening.

• Aluminum body and steel clutch housing provide a durable tool structure for repeat fastening work.
• Reversible operation helps operators move efficiently between installation, removal, and rework tasks.

Applications:

• Light industrial assembly - fastening small screws into panels, brackets, covers, enclosures, and subassemblies.
• Electronics and appliance work - controlled low-torque screwdriving where overtightening can damage components or housings.
• Fixture and bench fastening - repeat screw installation in jigs, workholding setups, and vertical fastening stations.
• Maintenance and MRO - removing and reinstalling light hardware on covers, guards, access plates, and serviceable equipment parts.
• Garage and workshop use - repeat low-torque screwdriving where a controlled pneumatic screwdriver is preferred over a hand tool.

FAQs:

• Q: What does shut-off clutch mean on the CP2824?
  A: A shut-off clutch stops driving when the selected torque is reached. This helps improve fastening consistency compared with direct drive or cushion clutch tools, where the operator controls final fastening more by feel.
• Q: What torque range does the CP2824 cover?
  A: The CP2824 covers a low-torque range of 0.4-1.2 ft-lbs / 0.5-1.6 Nm. It is best suited for smaller screws and light assemblies rather than high-torque fastening.
• Q: What bits fit this screwdriver?
  A: The CP2824 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: How is the CP2824 different from the CP2822?
  A: The CP2824 uses a shut-off pneumatic valve and ball clutch for controlled torque shut-off. The CP2822 uses a cushion clutch, which softens fastening reaction but does not automatically shut off at a set torque.
• 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 0.31" / 8 mm hose diameter for a 16 ft / 5 m hose length.
