Cleco 88RSATP-5CQ Sliding Knob Reverse Pneumatic Screwdriver | Trigger Start | 88 Series | 400 RPM | 1.2 - 13.2 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Hex Quick Change Drive

Built for assembly stations that need higher controlled torque in a pistol-grip format, the Cleco 88RSATP-5CQ Sliding Knob Reverse Pneumatic Screwdriver delivers a 1.2 - 13.2 ft-lbs torque range for fastening applications that require more output than lighter 88 Series models. Its 400 RPM free speed provides a controlled rundown pace, helping operators seat screws, bolts, and threaded fasteners consistently without the excessive speed of lower-torque drivers.

This 88 Series trigger start screwdriver uses a Clecomatic clutch (a torque-control clutch that helps stop the tool once the selected torque is reached) for repeatable fastening in production and maintenance environments. The sliding knob reverse lets the operator back out fasteners during rework or correction, while the 1/4" hex quick change drive supports fast bit changes for common assembly fasteners. The pistol-grip body gives operators familiar trigger control at benches, line-side fixtures, and general manufacturing workstations.

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

Applications:

• General manufacturing: Installing machine covers, brackets, panels, and medium-duty threaded fasteners where controlled torque is required.
• Appliance assembly: Fastening housings, frames, access panels, and structural subassemblies that need more torque than light screwdrivers provide.
• Automotive component work: Driving trim hardware, small brackets, interior parts, and subassembly fasteners in line-side or bench operations.
• Industrial MRO benches: Removing and reinstalling fasteners during repair, inspection, rework, and maintenance procedures.
• Fixture-based assembly: Supporting repetitive fastening where 1/4" hex bits, pistol-grip control, and reversible operation improve workflow.

FAQs:

• Q: What makes the 88RSATP-5CQ different from the 88RSATP-7CQ?
  A: The 88RSATP-5CQ runs at 400 RPM and provides a higher 1.2 - 13.2 ft-lbs torque range. The 88RSATP-7CQ runs faster at 550 RPM but has a lower 1.2 - 7.3 ft-lbs torque range.
• Q: What does trigger start mean on this screwdriver?
  A: Trigger start means the operator starts the fastening cycle by pulling the trigger on the pistol-grip handle. This gives direct control over when the tool starts and is useful when positioning the bit before rundown.
• Q: What is the purpose of the sliding knob reverse?
  A: The sliding knob reverse changes the tool direction so the operator can remove screws, correct a misaligned fastener, or perform rework without switching to another tool.
• Q: What bits can be used with the 1/4" hex quick change drive?
  A: This model accepts compatible 1/4" hex insert bits. Select the bit profile, length, and quality based on the fastener type, torque setting, and production requirements.
• Q: Is this screwdriver a replacement for an impact wrench?
  A: No. The 88RSATP-5CQ is a torque-controlled pneumatic screwdriver for assembly fastening. It is not intended for high-breakaway bolting, lug nuts, or impact wrench applications.
