Product Information

Full details

The Facom 16mm Ratcheting Spanner is an essential tool for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who need to perform rapid fastening and loosening in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the reversible ratcheting mechanism that allows you to change direction instantly without removing the tool from the bolt, significantly increasing workflow efficiency. A key caveat to note is that while the ratcheting end is highly efficient for speed, the open-ended side should always be used for breaking loose rusted or seized fasteners to prevent damage to the internal ratcheting gear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tool suitable for breaking loose seized bolts?

It is recommended to use the open-end side for initial loosening of seized bolts to avoid placing excessive torque on the ratcheting mechanism.

Does this wrench come in other sizes?

Yes, the Facom 467BR series is available in a variety of sizes ranging from 8mm to 18mm.

Can the ratcheting mechanism be repaired?

Facom tools are designed for industrial longevity, but internal repairs should be handled by an authorized service center.

Is the finish prone to peeling?

The polished chrome finish is designed for durability and high corrosion resistance, provided the tool is not used for purposes other than fastening.

What is the total length of this spanner?

This specific 16mm model has an overall length of 208mm.

Troubleshooting

The ratcheting action feels gritty or sticky

Clean the head thoroughly with a degreaser and apply a light machine oil to the ratcheting gear to restore smooth movement.

The reversing switch feels loose

Ensure the switch is fully clicked into the desired position; if the issue persists, inspect the head for accumulated debris preventing full engagement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-torque capacity for demanding fastening tasks
  • Durable, professional-grade construction for longevity
  • Ergonomic 208mm length provides excellent leverage
  • Easy-to-clean chrome surface resists grease and grime

  • Not suitable for use as a hammer or pry bar

  • Limited to 16mm fasteners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Facom 16mm Ratcheting Spanner is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. It is compatible with all standard 16mm hexagonal bolts and nuts. To ensure longevity, keep the ratcheting mechanism free of grit or metal shavings by periodically wiping the head with a clean cloth. Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the chrome finish. Avoid using high-impact force or hitting the wrench to break seized bolts, as the precision internal gears are designed for turning rather than impact stress.
