A new series of cushion clutch pneumatic screwdrivers has been announced by the ASG Division of Jergens, Inc. The new Torq2™ HCP Series pistol grip drivers are available with easily adjustable torque ranges from 4.5 lbf•in to 80 lbf•in. The drivers provide a high speed rundown, with a clutch that ratchets at the preset torque. They provide speed, power and torque repeatability appropriate for most assembly applications including those with wood and sheet metal screws. The drivers have been value-engineered to offer outstanding performance at a moderate cost.
The new drivers feature an ergonomic design that provides operator comfort and gripping power. The sculpted thermoplastic elastomer housings have been designed to help deliver balanced, non-fatigue performance. A quick change collet facilitates bit changing.
