Lever Speed Control

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

Connect these tools to your shop air to install and remove fasteners.

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.
