Cleco 8RSA-10 Push Button Reverse Inline Screwdriver | 8-Series | 800 RPM | 0.5 - 5.3 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | Bit & Finder Drive

Built for controlled fastening in light-to-medium production assembly, the Cleco 8RSA-10 push button reverse inline screwdriver gives operators a slower, higher-torque option within the 8-Series lineup. Its 800 RPM free speed supports more controlled rundown than faster models, while the 0.5 - 5.3 ft-lbs torque range provides added fastening capacity for screws that need more clamp load without moving to a larger tool. The Bit & Finder drive helps guide the bit onto the fastener, which is useful in repetitive assembly where alignment and consistency affect both speed and quality.

The inline push-to-start configuration activates the tool when forward pressure is applied, helping operators maintain a steady fastening rhythm at bench, fixture, or assembly-line stations. Push button reverse allows quick fastener removal or correction without reaching for a second tool. With a Clecomatic clutch (a mechanical clutch system used to improve torque repeatability at shutoff), 19.1 SCFM air consumption, and a compact 0.77" side-to-center distance, the 8RSA-10 is suited for production screwdriving where access, torque control, and daily repeatability matter.

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

Applications:

• Appliance assembly: Installing screws in panels, brackets, housings, and light mechanical subassemblies that require repeatable torque.
• Electronics and electrical production: Fastening covers, components, and assemblies where controlled low-to-mid torque screwdriving is required.
• Automotive interior and trim work: Driving screws in light assemblies, clips, covers, and support brackets at production or rework stations.
• Aerospace and precision subassembly: Repetitive screw installation where inline access and clutch-controlled fastening are important.
• General manufacturing and MRO: Bench repair, fixture-based fastening, inspection rework, and small-part assembly using pneumatic screwdriver stations.

FAQs:

• Q: How is the 8RSA-10 different from the 8RSA-20?
  A: The 8RSA-10 runs at 800 RPM and offers a higher maximum torque rating of 5.3 ft-lbs. The 8RSA-20 runs faster at 1,800 RPM but has a lower 3.3 ft-lbs maximum torque rating, making the 8RSA-10 the better choice when the application needs more torque and a more controlled rundown speed.
• Q: What does Bit & Finder drive mean?
  A: A Bit & Finder drive uses a bit and finder arrangement to help guide the bit onto the screw. This is helpful in repetitive assembly because it supports cleaner engagement and reduces wasted motion when operators are driving many screws per shift.
• Q: Is the Cleco 8RSA-10 reversible?
  A: Yes. This model uses push-button reverse, so the operator can back out screws or correct an assembly without switching to another tool.
• Q: What type of air supply does this screwdriver require?
  A: The listed air consumption is 19.1 SCFM, with a 1/4" NPT air inlet. Confirm that the workstation air supply can maintain the required flow and pressure during repeated cycles.
• Q: Is this screwdriver intended for removing stuck fasteners?
  A: No. The 8RSA-10 is a clutch-controlled pneumatic screwdriver for assembly fastening and rework. For seized screws, bolts, or breakaway applications, use a properly sized impact wrench or other removal tool.
