Cleco 8RSAL-10BQ Push Button Reverse Inline Screwdriver | 800 RPM | 15-60 (in-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Hex Quick Change Drive

Built for controlled fastening on assembly benches, production fixtures, and repair stations, the Cleco 8RSAL-10BQ inline pneumatic screwdriver delivers a 15 - 60 in-lbs torque range for applications that need more fastening force than lower-torque assembly drivers while staying compact enough for repetitive hand-held use. Its 800 RPM free speed provides a measured rundown rate for controlled screw installation, helping operators seat fasteners without the extra speed of higher-RPM models.

The push button reverse allows quick screw removal or correction without switching tools, while the 1/4" hex quick change drive accepts common screwdriver bits for fast bit changes between jobs. As an inline screwdriver, the tool keeps the operator’s hand, bit, and fastener on the same axis, supporting straight-on engagement in bench assembly, fixture-mounted work, and production environments where repeatable fastening matters.

Features:

• Clecomatic clutch provides torque-controlled fastening for repeatable assembly work.
• 15 - 60 in-lbs torque range suits small to medium threaded fasteners that need controlled seating force.
• 800 RPM free speed supports controlled rundown, where a slower fastening speed helps reduce overshoot.
• The push-and-lever start configuration gives operators deliberate start control during repetitive cycles.
• Push button reverse helps remove fasteners or correct misstarts without changing tools.
• 1/4" hex quick change drive accepts common screwdriver bits and reduces time spent changing tooling.
• Inline body keeps driving force aligned with the fastener for bench, fixture, and straight-access assembly tasks.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions and service manual, suspension bail, and all torque springs required to meet the indicated torque range.

Applications:

• Light manufacturing assembly for fastening brackets, panels, housings, and small mechanical components.
• Appliance and electronics production where controlled torque helps protect threaded inserts and assembled parts.
• Automotive interior and component assembly where operators need reversible fastening in a straight-line tool format.
• Maintenance benches and repair stations are used to remove and reinstall machine covers, guards, and access panels.
• Fixture-based fastening operations where inline alignment helps keep the bit square to the screw head.

FAQs:

• Q: What torque range does the Cleco 8RSAL-10BQ provide?
  A: The 8RSAL-10BQ provides 15 - 60 in-lbs of torque, equal to 1.7 - 6.8 Nm. This makes it a controlled fastening tool for assembly screws and small threaded fasteners, not a tool for high-torque bolt removal.
• Q: How is the 8RSAL-10BQ different from the 8RSAL-20BQ?
  A: The 8RSAL-10BQ runs at 800 RPM and reaches up to 60 in-lbs of torque. The 8RSAL-20BQ runs faster at 1,800 RPM but has a lower 15 - 38 in-lbs torque range, so the 10BQ is the better fit when the job needs more torque and a slower rundown speed.
• Q: What does push-button reverse do?
  A: Push button reverse lets the operator back out a screw or correct a fastener without reaching for a second tool. This is useful in assembly cells where quick correction keeps the work moving.
• Q: What bits fit the 1/4" hex quick-change drive?
  A: The tool accepts standard 1/4" hex screwdriver bits in compatible drive styles such as Phillips, Torx, hex, and other common assembly bit profiles. Always match the bit type to the fastener and torque requirement.
• Q: What air supply is required for this screwdriver?
  A: Cleco rates the tool at 90 PSI, or 620 kPa, for maximum rated torque. The manufacturer lists a 1/4" NPT air inlet, 1/4" minimum hose I.D., and 19 SCFM air consumption.
