Cleco 88RSATP-2C-3 Sliding Knob Reverse Pneumatic Screwdriver | Trigger Start | 88 Series | 200 RPM | 1.2 - 14.7 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 3/8" Square Drive

Built for controlled fastening in assembly stations, repair benches, and light production cells, the Cleco 88RSATP-2C-3 pneumatic screwdriver combines a pistol grip layout with trigger start control and sliding knob reverse for quick direction changes during install-and-remove work. Its 200 RPM free speed gives operators a slower, more controlled rundown on higher-torque screwdriving jobs, while the 15–180 in-lbs torque range covers fastening applications that need more output than small precision screwdrivers can provide.

This 88 Series model uses a 3/8" square drive for socket-driven fastening and a Clecomatic clutch (Cleco’s torque-control clutch system for repeatable shut-off at the set torque). With 19 SCFM air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a 1/4" minimum hose I.D., the tool fits common plant air setups while remaining compact enough for bench assembly, fixture work, and general MRO fastening tasks.

Features:

• Clecomatic clutch helps deliver consistent torque accuracy and repeatability in controlled fastening work.
• Trigger start gives the operator familiar pistol-grip control for intermittent assembly and service tasks.
• Sliding knob reverse supports quick changeover between fastening and removal without changing tools.
• 200 RPM free speed provides controlled rundown for higher-torque screwdriving where speed is less important than repeatability.
• 3/8" square drive output accepts compatible socket tooling for nut, bolt, and socket-head fastening applications.
• Compact 88 Series pistol grip format helps the tool fit into bench assembly, fixture stations, and maintenance environments.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions and service manual; models above 100 in-lbs torque include a dead handle.

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

Applications:

• Assembly workstations — running socket-driven fasteners where repeatable torque control is required.
• Appliance and equipment manufacturing — fastening brackets, housings, covers, and subassemblies with controlled rundown speed.
• Automotive and component assembly — installing small bolts and nuts on interior, trim, bracket, and light mechanical assemblies.
• Industrial MRO shops — removing and reinstalling machine covers, guards, clamps, and service-access fasteners.
• Fixture-based production — use in jigs, benches, and repair cells where a pistol grip tool is easier to position than an inline screwdriver.

FAQs:

• Q: What type of fasteners does the 3/8" square drive fit?
  A: The 3/8" square drive is used with compatible sockets rather than 1/4" hex screwdriver bits. It is suited for nut, bolt, and socket-driven fastening tasks within the tool’s torque range.
• Q: What does the Clecomatic clutch do?
  A: The Clecomatic clutch is Cleco’s torque-control clutch system. It helps the tool reach the set torque repeatably, which is important for assembly work where fasteners must be tightened consistently from part to part.
• Q: Is 200 RPM considered fast for a pneumatic screwdriver?
  A: No. This is a slower-speed model, which gives the operator more control on higher-torque screwdriving jobs and reduces the chance of overshooting fastener rundown compared with faster models.
• Q: What air supply does this screwdriver require?
  A: Tool performance is rated at 90 PSI, with 19 SCFM air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a 1/4" minimum hose I.D. Use an air system that can maintain those requirements during operation.
• Q: Can this tool be used for general garage or DIY fastening?
  A: It can be used when the fastener, socket size, torque range, and air supply match the job, but this is primarily a controlled assembly screwdriver rather than a general impact wrench or drill-driver replacement.
