Cleco 88RSA-7C-3 Push Button Reverse Inline Pneumatic Screwdriver | 88 Series | 550 RPM | 1.2 - 7.3 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 3/8" Square Drive

Built for repeatable socket-driven fastening in assembly cells, repair benches, and production workstations, the Cleco 88RSA-7C-3 push button reverse inline pneumatic screwdriver gives operators controlled rundown in a straight-body configuration. Its 1.2 - 7.3 ft-lbs torque range is well suited for light-to-medium fasteners where consistency matters more than breakaway power, while the 550 RPM free speed helps move fasteners efficiently without the aggressive speed of higher-RPM screwdrivers. The 3/8" square drive accepts compatible sockets for applications that require nut, bolt, or socket-head fastening rather than standard screwdriver bits.

This 88 Series screwdriver uses a Clecomatic clutch, a torque-control clutch that shuts the tool off at the selected setting to improve repeatability from fastener to fastener. Push-to-start operation begins rundown when the socket is pressed onto the fastener, helping reduce extra trigger movement during repetitive assembly work, while push button reverse supports quick removal, correction, and rework. With 19.1 SCFM air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a 90 PSI rated air pressure, the 88RSA-7C-3 fits regulated pneumatic assembly stations in light manufacturing, appliance production, equipment assembly, and maintenance operations.

Features:

• Push-to-start operation initiates fastening when forward pressure is applied, helping streamline repetitive assembly cycles.
• Push button reverse allows quick switching from installation to removal for rework, adjustment, and inspection tasks.
• Clecomatic clutch supports repeatable torque shut-off for controlled fastening applications.
• Inline body style helps keep the socket aligned with the fastener and fits naturally into bench-mounted or fixture-based workstations.
• 3/8" square drive output accepts compatible sockets for nut, bolt, and socket-driven fastening work.
• Cleco motor construction supports pneumatic assembly environments where consistent tool response and serviceability matter.
• High parts interchangeability with other Cleco products helps simplify repair planning and tool crib maintenance.
• Lower 1.2 - 7.3 ft-lbs torque range provides controlled fastening for lighter assemblies that do not require the higher torque capacity of 400 RPM models.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator FRL)

Applications:

• Light manufacturing and assembly cells: running down socket-driven fasteners on brackets, covers, housings, and small mechanical assemblies.
• Appliance and equipment production: fastening machine screws, nuts, and small bolts where torque consistency is more important than high removal force.
• Automotive component assembly: installing interior hardware, small subassembly fasteners, and fixture-held parts with controlled pneumatic rundown.
• Maintenance and rework benches: removing and reinstalling fasteners during inspection, adjustment, repair, or quality-control checks.
• General production workstations: supporting repeat fastening tasks where a 3/8" square-drive socket is preferred over a hex screwdriver bit.

FAQs:

• Q: What fasteners is the Cleco 88RSA-7C-3 used for?
  A: This model is used with compatible 3/8" square-drive sockets for controlled fastening of nuts, bolts, and socket-driven fasteners. Its 1.2 - 7.3 ft-lbs torque range makes it better suited to light and medium assembly work than large structural fasteners.
• Q: What does push-to-start mean?
  A: Push-to-start means the tool begins running when the operator applies forward pressure against the fastener. This can reduce hand movement during repetitive work because the operator does not need to pull a separate trigger for every cycle.
• Q: What is the benefit of the Clecomatic clutch?
  A: The Clecomatic clutch helps the tool shut off at the selected torque setting. This improves fastening repeatability when assemblies need more consistent clamp load from one fastener to the next.
• Q: Does this model use standard screwdriver bits?
  A: No. The 88RSA-7C-3 has a 3/8" square drive output and is intended for compatible square-drive sockets. Buyers who need quick-change screwdriver bits should compare the related CQ models with 1/4" hex quick change drive.
• Q: What air supply does this pneumatic screwdriver need?
  A: Cleco rates this tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa with 19.1 SCFM air consumption. Use a clean, regulated air supply and properly sized hose and fittings so the tool can reach its rated torque and speed.
