Cleco 250PTHFC226 Shut-Off Model Pulse Tool | 2200 RPM | 3/4" Square Drive | 118 (ft-lbs) Max Torque

Built for high-torque assembly stations where repeatable fastening matters, the Cleco 250PTHFC226 Shut-Off Model Pulse Tool combines a 3/4" square drive with 2,200 RPM free speed for fast rundown on larger bolts and nuts. As a C Series hydraulic pulse tool, it uses a hydraulic pulse shut-off system (a controlled pulse mechanism that reduces reaction force compared with conventional impact-style fastening) to help operators tighten fasteners with less kickback during production work. The 118 - 185 ft-lbs torque range gives this model the capacity for larger industrial fasteners used in automotive assembly, off-road equipment, rail, and general manufacturing environments.

The pistol grip layout gives technicians trigger-style control for horizontal and bench-mounted fastening tasks, while the external torque adjustment and external speed control allow qualified users to tune the tool for the application. A 3/8" NPT air inlet, 1/2" hose size, and 33.5 SCFM air consumption make this a production pneumatic tool that should be paired with a properly sized compressed air supply.

Features:

• C Series shut-off model pulse tool for controlled, repeatable pneumatic fastening.
• Hydraulic pulse shut-off helps reduce reaction force, vibration, and fastening noise compared with conventional impact tools.
• External torque adjustment supports application setup without internal tool disassembly.
• External speed control allows qualified users to adjust rundown behavior for the joint and fastener being assembled.
• Reversible operation supports both fastening and controlled fastener removal.
• Oilless blades reduce routine lubrication demands inside the air motor.
• Torque signal port provides a connection point for torque signal monitoring where compatible production systems are used.
• Pistol grip configuration gives operators familiar trigger control for bench, fixture, and line-side assembly work.

Applications:

• Automotive and transportation assembly — tightening larger suspension, frame, driveline, and chassis fasteners where lower reaction force is preferred.
• Heavy machinery production — fastening bolted assemblies on off-road, agricultural, and construction equipment components.
• Industrial manufacturing — line-side nut and bolt tightening where repeatability, speed, and operator control are important.
• Rail and fleet equipment maintenance — controlled fastening on larger mechanical assemblies when torque range and drive size match the job.
• Plant MRO and tool crib use — supporting production fastening tasks that require a 3/4" square drive pneumatic pulse tool.

FAQs:

• Q: What is a hydraulic pulse shut-off tool?
  A: A hydraulic pulse shut-off tool uses hydraulic pulses to apply torque, then shuts off when the set point is reached. This helps reduce reaction force compared with many impact wrenches and supports more repeatable fastening in production work.
• Q: Is the 250PTHFC226 an impact wrench?
  A: No. It is a pneumatic pulse tool, not a conventional impact wrench. It is used for controlled fastening where lower reaction force and repeatability are more important than maximum breakaway power.
• Q: What sockets fit this tool?
  A: This model uses a 3/4" square drive, so it requires compatible 3/4" drive impact-rated sockets. Always match the socket, extension, and fastener size to the torque range and application.
• Q: What air supply does this tool require?
  A: The listed air consumption is 33.5 SCFM with a 3/8" NPT air inlet and 1/2" hose size. For production use, confirm that the compressor, FRL, fittings, and hose can maintain adequate air volume at the tool.
• Q: Can this be used for general garage or DIY work?
  A: This tool is intended for industrial assembly and production fastening. It may be more tool than most home garages need, especially because it requires a high-volume compressed air setup and 3/4" drive tooling.
