Cleco MP2436 Pneumatic Screwdriver | Versa Clutch | MP Series | 1,800 RPM | 8.3 (ft-lbs) Max Torque

Built for light assembly, bench fastening, and general shop use, the Cleco MP2436 Pneumatic Screwdriver gives operators a compact pistol-grip tool with adjustable torque output for everyday screwdriving and small fastener work. Its Versa Clutch is an adjustable slip clutch, meaning the clutch slips when the selected torque level is reached to help reduce over-tightening. With 1,800 RPM free speed, the MP2436 runs fasteners down efficiently in production and repair settings, while the 0.4 to 8.3 ft-lbs torque range supports controlled fastening on panels, brackets, housings, and light mechanical assemblies.

The MP Series construction balances practical durability with accessible handling for operators who need repeatable performance without moving into higher-cost precision shut-off tools. Its 1/4" hex quick-change drive accepts standard screwdriver bits for rapid bit changes, while the one-hand forward/reverse switch helps speed up removal and installation work at the bench, on the line, or during maintenance tasks.

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

Applications:

• Light industrial assembly — installing screws in housings, covers, panels, brackets, and fixture-mounted components.
• Maintenance and MRO — removing and reinstalling machine guards, access panels, light hardware, and equipment covers.
• Appliance and equipment production — fastening sheet metal, plastic, and light mechanical assemblies where adjustable clutch control is useful.
• Automotive trim and accessory work — driving screws in interior panels, brackets, small covers, and non-critical service assemblies.
• Workshops and repair benches — general screwdriving jobs where air power and quick bit changes improve productivity over hand tools.

FAQs:

• Q: What is a Versa Clutch screwdriver?
  A: A Versa Clutch screwdriver uses an adjustable slip clutch that lets the operator change torque output by adjusting cam overlap. It is useful for general fastening where the user wants more control than a direct-drive tool but does not require a precision shut-off clutch.
• Q: What bits fit the Cleco MP2436?
  A: The MP2436 uses a 1/4" hex quick-change drive, so it accepts compatible 1/4" hex screwdriver bits. Always match the bit style and size to the screw head to prevent cam-out and fastener damage.
• Q: Is this screwdriver meant for precision torque-critical assembly?
  A: The MP2436 is a general-use Versa Clutch screwdriver. For highly torque-critical assembly, a shut-off clutch or transducerized precision fastening system may be more appropriate, depending on the process requirements.
• Q: What air supply does the MP2436 require?
  A: The tool is rated at 22.0 SCFM with a 1/4" air inlet and 3/8" minimum hose I.D. Use clean, regulated, lubricated air and avoid undersized hose or fittings that can reduce speed and torque.
• Q: Can this tool remove screws as well as install them?
  A: Yes, the one-hand forward/reverse switch allows the operator to change direction for screw removal or installation. It should be used within its stated torque range and with the correct bit for the fastener.
