Cleco 88RSAPT-2CQ Sliding Knob Reverse Pneumatic Screwdriver | Push and Trigger Start | 88 Series | 200 RPM | 1.2 - 14.7 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Quick Change

Built for controlled fastening where higher torque and slower rundown speed are needed, the Cleco 88RSAPT-2CQ sliding knob reverse pneumatic screwdriver delivers a 1.2 - 14.7 ft-lbs torque range for assembly fasteners that require more seating force than lower-torque screwdrivers can provide. Its 200 RPM free speed gives operators a deliberate rundown rate for larger screws, threaded inserts, and small bolts, helping maintain control as fasteners approach final torque.

This 88 Series push and trigger start model uses Cleco’s Clecomatic clutch, a torque-controlled clutch system that helps stop the tool at the selected torque setting for repeatable fastening. The sliding knob reverse lets operators change direction for screw removal, rework, or correction, while the 1/4" quick change drive accepts compatible hex drive bits for fast tooling changes at the assembly station.

Features:

• Clecomatic clutch supports torque-controlled fastening for repeatable production assembly.
• 1.2 - 14.7 ft-lbs torque range handles larger assembly screws, threaded inserts, and small bolted joints.
• 200 RPM free speed provides a slow, controlled rundown where fastener seating accuracy matters more than cycle speed.
• Push and trigger start configuration helps operators stabilize the bit before the fastening cycle begins.
• Sliding knob reverse allows direction changes for backing out screws, clearing misstarts, and completing rework.
• 1/4" quick-change drive accepts compatible hex drive bits and helps reduce downtime during bit changes.
• Compact 88 Series design saves weight and is suited for integration into bench, line, and fixture-based assembly environments.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions and service manual, suspension bail, all torque springs required to meet the indicated torque range, and side handle 861006PT on models above 8 ft-lbs torque.

Applications:

• Equipment and machinery assembly for controlled fastening of brackets, housings, covers, and mechanical subassemblies.
• Automotive component production where slower rundown helps control higher-torque screws and threaded inserts.
• Appliance and industrial product assembly for fastening larger screws without stepping up to impact-style tools.
• Maintenance benches and repair stations are used to remove and reinstall guards, panels, access plates, and machine hardware.
• Fixture-based fastening operations, where push and trigger start control help operators align the bit before applying torque.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the torque range of the Cleco 88RSAPT-2CQ?
  A: The 88RSAPT-2CQ provides 1.2 - 14.7 ft-lbs of torque, equal to 15 - 180 in-lbs or 1.7 - 20 Nm. This range supports controlled assembly fastening, not impact wrench-style breakaway work.
• Q: How is the 88RSAPT-2CQ different from the 88RSAPT-5CQ?
  A: The 88RSAPT-2CQ runs at 200 RPM and reaches up to 14.7 ft-lbs, while the 88RSAPT-5CQ runs faster at 400 RPM with a lower maximum torque. Choose the 2CQ when the joint needs more torque and a slower rundown speed.
• Q: What does push and trigger start mean?
  A: Push and trigger start means the operator uses trigger control while applying pressure at the fastener. This helps keep the bit seated before the tool begins the fastening cycle.
• Q: What is the sliding knob reverse used for?
  A: Sliding knob reverse changes the tool direction so operators can remove screws, back out a misstarted fastener, or complete rework without switching tools.
• Q: What bits work with the 1/4" quick-change drive?
  A: This model accepts compatible 1/4" hex drive bits. Match the bit profile and bit quality to the fastener head, torque setting, and production requirements.
