When maintenance crews, aviation shops, and production teams need controlled fastening power in a compact 3/8" platform, the Cleco CV-375P pneumatic impact wrench delivers 420 ft-lbs maximum torque with a 511 ft-lbs breakaway torque rating for removing stubborn fasteners that smaller ratchets or low-torque air tools may not handle. It's a 3/8" drive with pin anvil or pin hole retention that helps keep compatible impact sockets secured during repeated rundown and removal work, while the 8,000 RPM free speed supports faster nut and bolt rundown before the tool begins impacting under load.
Part of Cleco’s CV Composite Series, the CV-375P uses a twin hammer mechanism (an impact system that delivers balanced, repeated striking force for steady torque output) and a variable speed trigger for better control during assembly, maintenance, and overhaul tasks. At 2.91 lbs and 6.2" long, this pistol-grip impact wrench is sized for tight work areas where larger 1/2" tools may be difficult to position.

Features:
- Powerful twin hammer mechanism supports consistent impact energy for fastening and removal work.
- Variable speed trigger allows the user to feather tool speed during bolt rundown, alignment, and final removal.
- Composite housing keeps tool weight down for repeated use in maintenance, production, and overhaul settings.
- 3/8" drive size fits common impact sockets used for smaller equipment fasteners, aircraft work, automotive service, and shop maintenance.
- Pin anvil or pin hole drive retention helps secure the socket during repetitive fastening cycles.
- Compact 6.2" overall length helps the tool reach into tighter spaces around brackets, panels, assemblies, and machinery.
- 1,600 blows per minute provides rapid impact action for efficient loosening and tightening.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator FRL)
Applications:
- Aviation and aerospace maintenance: removing and installing smaller structural, panel, and service fasteners where a compact 3/8" impact wrench is preferred.
- Industrial production and assembly: running down nuts and bolts on fixtures, equipment frames, and light-to-medium assemblies.
- Maintenance and overhaul: servicing machinery, brackets, covers, guards, and mechanical components during teardown or reassembly.
- Automotive and fleet shops: handling underhood, chassis, accessory, and general repair fasteners that do not require a larger 1/2" impact wrench.
- Garage and workshop use: supporting general fastening, restoration, and repair tasks when paired with a properly sized compressor and impact-rated sockets.
FAQs:
- Q: What size air compressor is needed for the Cleco CV-375P?
A: The manufacturer lists air consumption at 32.0 SCFM. For continuous use, match the tool with an air system that can maintain the required flow through a 3/8" minimum hose and a 1/4" air inlet connection. - Q: What is the difference between maximum torque and breakaway torque?
A: The 420 ft-lbs rating represents the tool’s maximum torque range for fastening performance, while the 511 ft-lbs breakaway torque refers to loosening force for removing tight or stuck fasteners. - Q: What does “pin anvil or pin hole” mean?
A: It describes the socket-retention style on the drive. A pin-style retention setup helps keep the impact socket secured to the tool during repetitive or overhead fastening work. - Q: Can this impact wrench use standard chrome sockets?
A: No. Use only 3/8" drive impact-rated sockets that match the tool’s retention style. Chrome hand sockets are not intended for impact tools and may crack or fail under impact load. - Q: Is the CV-375P a good choice for general automotive work?
A: Yes, for many light-to-medium automotive and garage fastening jobs where a compact 3/8" impact is preferred. For lug nuts or larger suspension fasteners, a higher-torque 1/2" impact wrench may be more appropriate.
