Cleco 88RSAL-5CQ Push Button Reverse Inline Pneumatic Screwdriver | 88 Series | 400 RPM | 13.2 (ft-lbs) Max Torque | 1/4" Quick Change Drive

Built for higher-torque assembly fastening where smaller inline drivers run out of capacity, the Cleco 88RSAL-5CQ push button reverse inline pneumatic screwdriver delivers up to 13.2 ft-lbs max torque in a straight-body format suited for production benches, fixture work, and controlled rundown operations. Its 400 RPM free speed gives operators a slower, more deliberate rundown than high-speed light assembly screwdrivers, helping seat larger screws and threaded fasteners with better control.

The 88 Series platform uses a Clecomatic clutch, a torque-controlled clutch system that helps deliver consistent torque accuracy and repeatability during repetitive fastening. This push and lever start model provides deliberate start control, while push button reverse lets the operator back out fasteners or correct misstarts without changing tools. The 1/4" quick-change drive accepts compatible hex drive bits for faster bit swaps across assembly jobs.

Features:

• Clecomatic clutch delivers consistent torque accuracy and repeatability for production fastening.
• 1.2 - 13.2 ft-lbs torque range supports larger screwdriving applications than lower-capacity inline assembly drivers.
• 400 RPM free speed provides controlled rundown for fasteners that need measured seating rather than maximum speed.
• Push and lever start configuration helps operators maintain deliberate control at the start of each fastening cycle.
• Push button reverse allows fastener removal, correction, and rework without switching tools.
• CQ 1/4" quick-release output supports fast bit changes with compatible 1/4" hex drive tooling.
• Compact inline design saves weight and is suited for integration into assembly environments.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions and service manual, suspension bail, side handle on models above 8 ft-lbs torque capacity, and all torque springs required to meet the indicated torque range.

Applications:

• Production assembly for controlled fastening of larger screws, threaded inserts, and mechanical components.
• Appliance and equipment manufacturing where repeatable torque helps protect housings, brackets, and assembled parts.
• Automotive and heavy truck component assembly for trim, brackets, covers, and moderate-torque threaded fasteners.
• Industrial maintenance benches where technicians need reversible pneumatic screwdriving for machine guards, panels, and access covers.
• Fixture-mounted or straight-access fastening stations where inline tool alignment helps keep the bit square to the fastener.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the torque range of the Cleco 88RSAL-5CQ?
  A: The 88RSAL-5CQ has a torque range of 1.2 - 13.2 ft-lbs, equal to 15 - 160 in-lbs or 1.7 - 18 Nm. This makes it a higher-torque inline screwdriver for assembly fastening, not an impact tool for seized bolt removal.
• Q: What does the Clecomatic clutch do?
  A: The Clecomatic clutch is Cleco’s torque-controlled clutch system for repeatable fastening. It helps the tool shut off at the selected torque setting so production operators can maintain more consistent rundown results.
• Q: What is the difference between push-button reverse and non-reversible models?
  A: Push button reverse lets the operator back out the screws, clear a misstart, or perform rework with the same tool. Non-reversible models are used when removal is not required at the station.
• Q: What bits work with the 1/4" quick-change drive?
  A: This model uses a 1/4" quick-change output for compatible 1/4" hex drive bits. Match the bit style and quality to the fastener head, torque setting, and production requirement.
• Q: What air supply does this screwdriver require?
  A: Cleco rates the tool at 90 PSI, or 620 kPa, for maximum rated torque. The listed air connection is 1/4" NPT with a 1/4" minimum hose I.D. and 19 SCFM air consumption.
