Cleco 88RSATP-7C-3 Sliding Knob Reverse Pneumatic Screwdriver | Trigger Start | 88 Series | 550 RPM | 1.2 - 7.3 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 3/8" Square Drive

Built for controlled socket-driven fastening in assembly and maintenance environments, the Cleco 88RSATP-7C-3 is an 88 Series pistol grip pneumatic screwdriver with trigger start, sliding knob reverse, and a 3/8" square drive for use with compatible sockets. It's 550 RPM free speed supports faster rundown than lower-speed models while still keeping the operator in control during repetitive fastening, and the 1.2 - 7.3 ft-lbs torque range suits light-to-medium assembly work where repeatable tightening matters more than impact-style breakaway power.

The 88RSATP-7C-3 uses Cleco’s dependable Clecomatic clutch, a torque-control clutch system that helps the tool shut off consistently at the selected torque setting. External torque adjustment allows maintenance teams and tool crib personnel to fine-tune fastening output for the job, while the compact pistol grip body helps operators maintain steady control at benches, fixtures, and line-side workstations.

Applications:

• Production assembly: Fastening small nuts, bolts, and socket-driven hardware on line-side workstations and fixture-mounted assemblies.
• Automotive and transportation manufacturing: Installing brackets, covers, panels, and light mechanical components where controlled torque is required.
• Appliance and equipment assembly: Repetitive tightening of socket-head or hex-head fasteners in metal housings, frames, and subassemblies.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO: Controlled removal and installation of smaller fasteners during repair, inspection, and equipment service.
• Workshop and garage use: Air-powered fastening for projects that require more control than an impact wrench and more speed than hand tools.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the main difference between this model and a 1/4" hex quick-change screwdriver?
  A: This model has a 3/8" square drive, so it is intended for compatible sockets. A 1/4" hex quick-change model is used with screwdriver bits and bit holders.
• Q: Is this an impact wrench?
  A: No. The Cleco 88RSATP-7C-3 is a torque-controlled pneumatic screwdriver. It is used for controlled fastening, not for high-torque breakaway work or removing seized fasteners.
• Q: What does the Clecomatic clutch do?
  A: The Clecomatic clutch helps the tool shut off at the selected torque setting. That improves repeatability when the same fastener or assembly step is performed many times.
• Q: When would I choose the 550 RPM version?
  A: The 550 RPM speed is useful when the application needs quicker rundown than slower 200 RPM models while still requiring torque-controlled fastening. It fits repetitive light-to-medium assembly jobs where productivity and repeatability both matter.
• Q: What air supply does this screwdriver require?
  A: The available data lists 19 SCFM air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a 1/4" minimum hose I.D. Use clean, regulated air and confirm that the compressor and air line can maintain the required flow at the tool.
