When assembly work calls for greater fastening torque at a controlled rundown speed, the Ingersoll Rand QS1L10D1D Inline Air Screwdriver delivers up to 51 in-lbs (5.8 Nm) of torque at a 1,000 RPM free speed. Part of the Q2 Series, this pneumatic screwdriver features a stall clutch (direct drive), which allows the motor to slow and stall as fastener resistance increases instead of disengaging at a preset torque. This operating method is particularly suited to soft-draw fastening applications, such as driving screws into wood and other materials where critical torque control is unnecessary. Its lever-start operation provides straightforward control for repetitive fastening at production assembly stations.
Built around a compact, well-balanced inline housing, the QS1L10D1D weighs just 1.3 lbs (0.6 kg) and measures 9.5 inches (241 mm) in length. The egg-shaped housing follows the natural contour of the hand, while a soft-grip surface overmolded on a composite core provides a comfortable texture and temperature during repeated use. Its Skins late housing helps reduce the grip pressure required during operation, and the 1/4-inch hex quick-change spindle accommodates compatible screwdriver bits for different fastening tasks. Compared with the faster QS1L20D1D model, this configuration prioritizes higher available torque over rundown speed, making it a practical choice for assembly processes requiring greater turning force.
Type: Inline Air Screwdriver | Model: QS1L10D1D | Series: Q2 | Clutch Type: Stall (Direct Drive) | Actuation: Lever Start | Torque Range: 0–51 in-lbs (0–5.8 Nm) | Free Speed: 1,000 RPM | Drive Size: 1/4" | Drive Type: Hex Quick Change | Weight: 1.3 lbs (0.6 kg) | Length: 9.5" (241 mm) | Side-to-Center Distance: 0.9" (22 mm) | Air Inlet: 1/4" NPT | Air Consumption: 16 CFM | Sound Level at Free Speed: 75 dB(A)
Features:
- Stall-type direct drive mechanism supports soft-draw fastening operations where critical torque control is not required.
- 51 in-lbs maximum torque provides greater fastening capability than the higher-speed, lower-torque models in the Q2 stall screwdriver range.
- 1,000 RPM free speed balances screw rundown with the turning force needed for higher-resistance assembly joints.
- Lever-start actuation provides direct operator control over each fastening cycle.
- Skinsulate housing creates a comfortable grip surface while requiring less gripping force and pressure during operation.
- Compact, lightweight, and well-balanced construction supports repetitive fastening at production workstations.
- Egg-shaped housing provides a natural hand fit, with a soft-grip surface overmolded on a composite core for comfortable texture and temperature.
- 1/4-inch hex quick-change spindle allows convenient changes between compatible screwdriver bits.

Applications:
- Woodworking and wooden component assembly – installing screws into wood parts where the joint requires moderate fastening torque without critical torque control.
- Furniture and cabinet manufacturing – repetitive fastening of suitable wooden panels, frames, and assembled components.
- Production assembly lines – driving screws into soft-draw joints at operator-controlled pneumatic fastening stations.
- Fixture and equipment assembly – installing threaded fasteners in compatible materials when joint resistance falls within the screwdriver's available torque range.
- General workshop fastening – repeated screw installation where a compact inline air screwdriver offers more suitable handling than a larger fastening tool.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the difference between the QS1L10D1D and QS1L20D1D air screwdrivers?
A: The QS1L10D1D provides up to 51 in-lbs of torque at 1,000 RPM, while the QS1L20D1D provides up to 26 in-lbs at 2,000 RPM. Choose the QS1L10D1D when the fastening joint requires greater available torque, or the QS1L20D1D when faster rundown is more important and its torque capacity is sufficient.
- Q: Does the QS1L10D1D automatically shut off when a screw is tightened?
A: No. This model uses a stall-type direct drive mechanism. As tightening resistance increases, the air motor slows and eventually stalls rather than automatically shutting off at a calibrated torque setting. It should not be used as a substitute for a precision torque-controlled fastening tool.
- Q: Is this screwdriver suitable for assembling wooden products?
A: Yes. Ingersoll Rand specifically recommends Q2 Series stall screwdrivers for soft-draw applications involving wood and similar materials. The fastener dimensions, material resistance, and required tightening torque must be appropriate for the tool.
- Q: What type of screwdriver bits can be used with this model?
A: The QS1L10D1D features a 1/4-inch hex quick-change spindle. Use screwdriver bits with a matching shank configuration and an appropriate tip profile for the fastener being installed.
- Q: How much compressed air does the QS1L10D1D require?
A: The manufacturer lists air consumption of 16 CFM with a 1/4-inch NPT air inlet. Confirm that the compressed-air system can supply the required airflow at the manufacturer's specified operating pressure, especially during repetitive fastening cycles.
