Need Help Choosing an Electric Torque Screwdriver?

Express Assembly Products offers four lines of electric screwdrivers:

Need help choosing an electric torque screwdriver?  Traditional spring base clutched screwdrivers are found everywhere throughout the assembly environment.    These torque screwdrivers come in 2 clutch types and three different motor types.  For clutches the most common is the full auto shutoff clutch that turns the  screwdriver off once the set torque value has been reached.  The second clutch type is a slip clutch that slips once the set torque value is reached.  The torque repeatability is higher on the auto shut off clutch and when running the screwdriver feels smoother in the operator’s hand since there is no slipping clutch action.  The benefit of the slip clutch is for the same torque range they tend to cost less for unit and are a great tool for removing fasteners and light noncritical torque applications.   For motor types there are brushless motors and non-brushless motors.  Brushless motors run smoother, more powerful and have less maintenance issues then brushed motors.  With our brushless line we also offer more accessories that are sometime required in an assembly application (for example, slow start, signal controller, ESD safe housing and screw counting).  Brushed screwdrivers are a good solution for straight forward assembly applications.  Unfortunately, they cover a smaller torque range (max torque around 40 in-lbs) then brushless torque screwdriver due to motor power.
