Product Information
Full details
The Facom ATCL.S14 is a professional-grade stubby bit holder ratchet screwdriver engineered for technicians and hobbyists who frequently work in tight, restricted spaces. Its primary benefit is its highly compact form factor, which allows for high-torque fastening where standard screwdrivers cannot reach, though its stubby length means it is not the ideal tool for long-reach applications requiring extended leverage.

Troubleshooting

Inspect the internal magnet for debris or buildup and ensure the bit shank is clean and free of grime.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the ATCL.S14, simply insert your desired 1/4" hex bit into the magnetic bit holder until it clicks into place. The handle features a directional toggle to switch between clockwise and counter-clockwise ratcheting, or a neutral lock position. To maintain the tool, wipe the shaft and handle with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove debris. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the ratchet mechanism, and avoid using the tool as a pry bar to prevent internal gear damage.
