Cleco MP2271 Inline Impact Wrench Driver | MP Series | 10,500 RPM | 900 BPM | 3/8" Square Drive | 65 ft-lbs Max Torque

Built for compact fastening stations, light assembly work, and maintenance tasks where straight-line access matters, the Cleco MP2271 Inline Impact Wrench Driver combines screwdriver-like speed with controlled impact output in the Cleco MP Series. Its 10,500 RPM free speed helps run fasteners down quickly before final tightening, while 900 BPM delivers impact action for loosening and tightening without the continuous reaction force of a standard drill or nutrunner. The 3/8" square drive accepts compatible impact sockets for common shop and assembly fasteners, and the 65 ft-lbs maximum torque suits light-to-medium fastening where a full-size impact wrench would be larger than the job requires.

The inline body style keeps the tool aligned with the fastener for controlled push-in access, especially on benches, fixtures, engine compartments, and equipment panels. A top-mounted reversible butterfly throttle gives the operator one-hand forward and reverse control, while the 4-speed regulator allows variable torque adjustment for better control on soft joint applications, such as gasketed or compressible assemblies where fastener tension can change as the material compresses.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator FRL)

Applications:

• Assembly benches and production cells — running down and removing small-to-medium fasteners where inline access and controlled reaction matter.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — servicing guards, covers, brackets, machine panels, and compact equipment assemblies.
• Automotive and fleet repair — working on interior panels, accessories, light brackets, and underhood fasteners that do not require high breakaway torque.
• Fixture and soft joint fastening — tightening gasketed, clamped, or compressible assemblies where variable torque control helps prevent over-driving.
• Garage and workshop use — compact pneumatic fastening for hobby mechanics and repair users with a properly sized air supply.

FAQs:

• Q: What size compressor is needed for the Cleco MP2271?
  A: The MP2271 is rated at 22 SCFM and 90 PSI, so the air system should be able to supply that demand during use. For best results, use properly sized hose and fittings so the tool does not lose speed or torque under load.
• Q: What does the 3/8" square drive fit?
  A: The 3/8" square drive accepts compatible 3/8" drive impact sockets. Always use impact-rated sockets rather than chrome hand sockets when operating an impact wrench.
• Q: Is 65 ft-lbs enough for automotive lug nuts?
  A: No, 65 ft-lbs is generally too low for most wheel lug nut removal or installation. This tool is better suited for light-to-medium assembly, equipment panels, brackets, and smaller fasteners.
• Q: Why choose an inline impact wrench instead of a pistol grip impact?
  A: An inline impact wrench keeps the tool body in line with the fastener, which can improve access in fixtures, narrow spaces, and straight-in fastening positions. A pistol grip impact is usually preferred when higher torque or a side-grip stance is needed.
• Q: What does “soft joint application” mean?
  A: A soft joint is a fastening joint that compresses as it tightens, such as gasketed, rubber-mounted, or washered assemblies. The MP2271’s variable torque control helps the operator adjust output for these applications.
