Product Information
Full details
The Facom 113AS.6C is an essential tool for professional mechanics and home enthusiasts who frequently work in cramped engine bays or tight assembly spaces. Its standout benefit is the ultra-thin jaw profile, which is 46% thinner than standard adjustable wrenches, allowing for access in confined areas that standard tools simply cannot reach. While it offers excellent maneuverability and a durable chrome finish, users should note that its lightweight design is optimized for precision work rather than heavy-duty pipe fitting or extreme torque applications.

FAQs
What is the maximum jaw opening of the 113AS.6C?
The wrench has a maximum jaw capacity of 33mm.
Is this wrench suitable for heavy-duty plumbing?
While it can be used for standard fittings, it is designed for precision and thin-profile access rather than the extreme torque required for heavy-duty pipework.
How do I maintain the finish?
Keep the tool dry and wipe off oil or grease after use. The chrome finish is naturally resistant to rust, but prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided.
Can this be used on both metric and imperial fasteners?
Yes, as an adjustable wrench, it can accommodate both metric and imperial hardware as long as the size falls within its 33mm capacity.
What is the total length of the tool?
The Facom 113AS.6C has an overall length of 160 mm.
Troubleshooting
Adjustment screw is stiff or hard to turn
Clean any debris from the screw threads and apply a small amount of machine oil or lubricant to the adjustment mechanism.
Jaws feel loose or wobble during use
Verify the thumb screw is tightened firmly against the fastener. If the wobble persists, ensure the wrench is not being used on a fastener size exceeding its 33mm capacity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly better access in tight spaces than standard wrenches
- High-quality chrome finish resists rust and wear
- Smooth thumb adjustment wheel for one-handed operation
- Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended use
Cons
- Not intended for high-torque or extreme heavy-duty industrial work
- Slim jaw profile requires careful placement to avoid slipping under maximum load
- Small form factor may feel undersized for users with very large hands
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; simply turn the thumb adjustment screw to open or close the jaws to match the fastener size.
Compatibility: The 33mm maximum jaw capacity makes this tool compatible with a vast array of metric and imperial bolts commonly found in automotive and household plumbing systems.
Care Instructions: To maintain the longevity of your Facom wrench, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove chemicals or moisture. Periodically apply a light drop of machine oil to the adjustment screw threads to keep the mechanism moving smoothly. Store in a dry tool chest to maintain the integrity of the chrome finish.
