Cleco 8RSAL-20BQ Push Button Reverse Inline Screwdriver | 1,800 RPM | 15 - 38 (in-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Hex Quick Change Drive

Built for controlled fastening in production assembly, the Cleco 8RSAL-20BQ inline pneumatic screwdriver combines a 15 - 38 in-lbs torque range with 1,800 RPM free speed for driving small to medium fasteners quickly without oversizing the tool for light assembly work. The inline body supports straight-on bit engagement, while the push and lever start configuration gives operators controlled starts during repetitive fastening cycles.

This 8 Series Cleco screwdriver uses a Clecomatic clutch, a torque-controlled clutch system that helps stop the tool at the selected torque setting for repeatable rundown. Its push-button reverse allows fast back-out of screws without changing grip position, and the 1/4" hex quick change drive accepts common insert bits for faster bit swaps on the bench, line, or repair station.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the torque range of the Cleco 8RSAL-20BQ?
  A: The 8RSAL-20BQ has a torque range of 15 - 38 in-lbs, or 1.7 - 4.3 Nm. This range is suited to controlled assembly fastening rather than high-torque bolt removal.
• Q: What does 1/4" hex quick change mean?
  A: The tool accepts 1/4" hex screwdriver bits and uses a quick change chuck to make bit swaps faster. This is helpful when operators change between Phillips, Torx, hex, or other common drive styles during assembly.
• Q: Does this screwdriver have reverse?
  A: Yes. The 8RSAL-20BQ is listed as a push button reverse model, allowing the operator to back out screws or correct a fastener without reaching for a separate tool.
• Q: What air pressure is required?
  A: Cleco rates this tool at 90 PSI, or 620 kPa, for maximum rated torque performance. Use a properly regulated air supply and a minimum 1/4" I.D. hose as specified by the manufacturer.
• Q: Is this a pistol grip screwdriver?
  A: No. This model is an inline screwdriver, which keeps the tool body aligned with the fastener. Inline tools are commonly used in bench assembly, fixture work, and straight-access fastening positions.
