Built for precision fastening on connected assembly lines, the Cleco CTBAW273 CellTek cordless electric right angle nutrunner delivers a controlled 5.0 - 19.9 ft-lbs torque range with a 560 RPM free speed for repeatable rundown work. Its 3/8" square drive fits compatible square-drive sockets, while the right angle head helps operators reach fasteners where straight pistol tools may not have a clear approach. CellTek is Cleco’s cordless assembly platform for smart factory fastening, with wireless connectivity, on-tool storage, and controller compatibility that support traceable production environments.
The CTBAW273 is suited for safety-critical joints, batch-controlled assembly, and fastening stations where torque consistency and tool data matter as much as speed. Its 14.3 mm / 0.56 in side-to-center distance helps position the socket close to nearby walls, housings, brackets, and other obstructions, while the 3.1 lb weight without battery keeps the bare tool manageable for repetitive production work.
Please note that this listing is for the tool only; the Cordless Battery and Charger are not included and must be purchased separately.

Applications:
- Automotive assembly — tightening controlled fasteners on brackets, housings, interior components, and subassemblies where torque traceability is required.
- Heavy truck and off-road equipment production — fastening medium-torque joints on panels, frames, cab assemblies, and equipment modules.
- Appliance and industrial assembly — repetitive nut and bolt fastening at stations that benefit from cordless mobility and controller-based process control.
- Aerospace and precision manufacturing — controlled tightening in areas where a right angle head improves access around fixtures, ribs, covers, and tooling.
- Maintenance and rework stations — repeatable fastening for production support teams working with existing Cleco Global cordless controller platforms.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the torque range of the Cleco CTBAW273?
A: The CTBAW273 has a torque range of 6.8 - 27 Nm, which equals 5.0 - 19.9 ft-lbs. This range is intended for controlled production fastening rather than breakaway or impact-style bolt removal. - Q: What does the 3/8" square drive mean?
A: A 3/8" square drive accepts compatible 3/8" drive sockets. This makes the tool suitable for nut and bolt fastening where a socket, rather than a screwdriver bit, is required. - Q: Why choose a right angle nutrunner instead of a pistol tool?
A: A right angle nutrunner places the output at 90 degrees to the tool body, helping operators reach fasteners near walls, brackets, and other obstructions. The CTBAW273 has a 14.3 mm / 0.56 in side-to-center distance for close-access fastening. - Q: Are battery and charger included with this SKU?
A: The manufacturer specifications list the tool weight without battery and provide separate battery weights, but the supplied source does not confirm kit contents. Please confirm whether this listing is tool-only or includes a battery and charger before publishing. - Q: Can this tool connect to Cleco cordless controllers?
A: Yes. The manufacturer states that CellTek tools are forward and backward compatible with Cleco’s Global cordless controller platforms and can connect over WiFi or Bluetooth 4.0.
