About Torque Tools

Designed for intermittent use.

Drills with keyed chuck can be tightened with the included key.

Drills with keyless chuck open and close without a key for fast bit changes.

Styles E, F, and G have a lever throttle with a lock to prevent accidental starts.

Set torque and the clutch slips when it’s reached, causing the tool to stop turning the fastener. To set torque, turn the adjustment collar or screw and then verify the torque setting with a torque tester.

Note: Air tools require lubrication to operate properly.

High-Precision Air-Powered Torque Screwdrivers

Push-to-Start Speed Control

Lever Speed Control

The motor shuts off when the set torque is reached to provide the most torque control of any air-powered screwdriver. To set torque, turn the adjustment collar or screw and then verify the torque setting with a torque tester.

Note: Air tools require lubrication to operate properly.

Air-Powered Screwdrivers

Positive Clutch Drive

Direct Drive

Screwdrivers with positive clutch drive are the best choice for fastening applications where torque control is not critical. These tools require the operator to pull the trigger and apply pressure to the screw before the bit will turn. The clutch slips as soon as pressure is lifted or the maximum torque of the tool is reached.

Screwdrivers with direct drive start turning the bit as soon as the operator pulls the trigger. These tools provide a high level of control over fastening but do not have any built-in mechanism for preventing overtightening or limiting torque. Since pressure is not required for the screwdriver to turn the bit, they're good for fastening through compressible materials.

Note: Air tools require lubrication to operate properly.

Tight-Clearance Air-Powered Screwdrivers

An angled handle makes it easier to drive fasteners in tight spaces. These direct-drive tools start turning the bit as soon as the operator pulls the trigger. They provide a high level of control over fastening but do not have any built-in mechanism for preventing overtightening or limiting torque. Since pressure is not required for the screwdriver to turn the bit, they're good for fastening through compressible materials.
