Built for connected assembly stations where repeatable torque and cordless mobility both matter, the Cleco CTBAW653 is a right-angle cordless electric nutrunner for safety- and quality-critical fastening work. Its 12.5 - 47.9 ft-lbs torque range gives assembly teams controlled tightening capability for medium-torque fasteners, while the 220 RPM speed supports steady rundown without giving up control at final torque. The 3/8" square drive accepts compatible square-drive sockets, and the right-angle head helps reach fasteners tucked near brackets, housings, frames, and other production fixtures where inline tools may not fit.
As part of Cleco’s connected cordless assembly platform, the CTBAW653 supports wireless production environments with on-tool data backup, controller compatibility, multi-color LED feedback, and enhanced WiFi range. The tool’s 0.75" side-to-center distance helps operators work close to edges and obstructions, while its 3.7 lb weight without battery keeps the bare tool manageable for repetitive assembly tasks.
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 medium-torque fasteners on brackets, housings, subassemblies, and production fixtures where torque traceability matters.
- Heavy truck and trailer production — fastening frame, cab, suspension-adjacent, and component-level assemblies that require repeatable cordless tightening.
- Agriculture and lawn equipment manufacturing — working around guards, castings, brackets, and tight right-angle fastening locations.
- Appliance and industrial assembly — controlled fastening on assemblies where wireless connectivity and operator feedback help reduce missed or incorrect rundowns.
- Production maintenance and tool crib replacement — matching existing Cleco cordless controller platforms when a right-angle 3/8" square-drive nutrunner is required.
FAQs:
- Q: What does the 12.5 - 47.9 ft-lbs torque range mean?
A: This is the working torque range the tool is specified to deliver. Use it to confirm the CTBAW653 matches your assembly torque requirement before selecting sockets, programs, or controller settings. - Q: Why choose a right-angle nutrunner instead of an inline cordless tool?
A: A right-angle nutrunner places the output drive at 90 degrees to the tool body, helping operators reach fasteners near panels, frames, housings, and other obstructions where a straight tool may not have clearance. - Q: What does “side to center” mean on this tool?
A: Side to center is the distance from the outside of the right-angle head to the centerline of the drive. The CTBAW653 has a 0.75" side-to-center distance, which is important when checking access near walls, ribs, brackets, or fixture edges. - Q: Does the CTBAW653 include a battery, charger, or controller?
A: The provided manufacturer specification does not confirm package contents. Battery, charger, and controller inclusion should be verified before publishing or ordering. - Q: Is this a general repair tool for garage use?
A: No. This is a connected cordless assembly nutrunner intended for production fastening environments, not a general-purpose cordless impact wrench or mechanic’s ratchet.
