Cleco 8RSA-5BQ Push Button Reverse Inline Screwdriver | 8-Series | 400 RPM | 0.5 - 6.2 (ft-lbs) Torque Range

Built for light-to-medium assembly work where repeatable fastening matters, the Cleco 8RSA-5BQ Push Button Reverse Inline Screwdriver combines an inline body style with 400 RPM free speed and a 0.5 - 6.2 ft-lbs torque range for controlled screwdriving in production environments. The inline configuration keeps the tool aligned with the fastener, while the push-to-start operation helps reduce unnecessary trigger movement during repetitive rundown tasks. A push-button reverse function supports fast removal or correction of fasteners without changing tools.

Part of Cleco’s 8-Series, this pneumatic screwdriver uses a Clecomatic clutch (a torque-control clutch that helps deliver repeatable shut-off performance once the set torque is reached) for assembly applications where consistency is more important than raw speed. The 1/4" hex quick-change output drive allows fast bit changes, making the 8RSA-5BQ a practical choice for appliance assembly, electronics production, light manufacturing, and bench assembly stations that require controlled fastening with minimal tool repositioning.

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

Applications:

• Appliance assembly: Fastening panels, brackets, covers, and internal components where repeatable torque control helps protect parts and threads.
• Electronics production: Running screws into enclosures, frames, and light assemblies, where controlled rundown is preferred over impact-style fastening.
• Automotive interior and component assembly: Installing trim, small brackets, housings, and subassemblies that require moderate torque and consistent repeatability.
• General manufacturing: Bench assembly, light fabrication, and repetitive fastening tasks using 1/4" hex screwdriver bits.
• Repair and rework stations: Removing and reinstalling screws during inspection, service, and production correction work.

FAQs:

• Q: What does push-to-start mean on the Cleco 8RSA-5BQ?
  A: Push-to-start means the screwdriver begins running when the bit is pressed into the fastener. This helps operators work quickly during repetitive assembly because there is no separate trigger motion required.
• Q: What is the benefit of the push button reverse?
  A: Push button reverse lets the operator back out screws or correct a fastener without changing tools. It is useful in assembly and rework areas where fastener removal is part of the normal process.
• Q: What type of bits does this screwdriver accept?
  A: The 8RSA-5BQ uses a 1/4" hex quick change output drive. Use compatible 1/4" hex screwdriver bits matched to the fastener style and application.
• Q: Is this tool for high-torque bolting?
  A: No. This is a controlled pneumatic screwdriver with a 0.5 - 6.2 ft-lbs torque range. It is intended for screwdriving and light-to-medium assembly fastening, not impact wrench or large bolt applications.
• Q: What air pressure is required for rated performance?
  A: Cleco rates this tool at 90 PSI / 620 kPa. Use a properly sized air supply, 3/8" minimum hose I.D., and clean regulated air to maintain consistent tool performance.
