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.

Note: Air tools require lubrication to operate properly.
