Cleco 35STHFC404 Shut-Off Pulse Tool | 4000 RPM | 12- 26 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | Inline Lever

Built for repeatable fastening on production assemblies, the Cleco 35STHFC404 Shut-Off Pulse Tool delivers a 12–26 ft-lbs torque range with a 1/2" square drive for socket-based work on M5 to M8 fasteners. Its hydraulic pulse shut-off system (a fluid-driven pulse mechanism that stops the tool at the preset torque) helps reduce reaction force compared with conventional impact tools, making it useful for repeated fastening where control, consistency, and operator handling all matter.

The inline lever configuration keeps the tool aligned with the fastener for straight rundown, while the 4,000 RPM free speed supports fast cycle times in assembly cells and manufacturing workstations. With external torque adjustment, external speed control, reversible operation, and oilless blades, the 35STHFC404 gives production teams a compact C-Series pulse tool for controlled tightening and fastener removal without having to move up to a larger pistol-grip model.

Made in USA:

Applications:

• Automotive and transportation assembly fastening brackets, covers, housings, and small structural components.
• General manufacturing stations tightening M5 to M8 fasteners with controlled torque output.
• Appliance and equipment assembly where an inline tool can help maintain fastener alignment during repetitive work.
• Industrial maintenance cells using 1/2" drive sockets for controlled removal and reassembly tasks.
• Suspended tool setups where the included suspension bail helps manage tool weight over repeated cycles.

FAQs:

• Q: What does hydraulic pulse shut-off do?
  A: Hydraulic pulse shut-off delivers torque through a pulse unit and stops the tool when the preset torque is reached. This helps limit reaction force and supports more repeatable fastening than a non-shut-off pulse tool.
• Q: What fastener sizes does the Cleco 35STHFC404 cover?
  A: The C-Series STHFC and STHF range is listed for M5 to M8 fasteners, or #10 to 3/8" bolt sizes. Final tool selection should still be matched to the joint, torque target, and socket requirements.
• Q: What sockets fit this model?
  A: The 35STHFC404 uses a 1/2" square drive, so it accepts compatible 1/2" drive impact-rated sockets. It is not the quick change version; buyers needing a 7/16" quick change output should review the related 35STHFC40Q model.
• Q: Can the torque and speed be adjusted?
  A: Yes. This model includes external torque adjustment and external speed control. Torque should be verified with proper test equipment before being released for production use.
• Q: What air setup is required?
  A: The tool is rated at 87 PSI / 6 bar and lists 15.9 SCFM air consumption with a 1/4" NPT air inlet and 3/8" minimum hose I.D. A properly sized air line and FRL help maintain stable performance during repeated fastening cycles.
