Product Information

Full details

The Facom 467BR 13mm Ratcheting Combination Wrench is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require speed, precision, and reliable performance in repetitive fastening tasks. Its key benefit is the reversible ratcheting mechanism paired with a 5-degree swing arc, allowing for rapid movement in restricted engine bays or machinery housing. A primary caveat for users is that, while highly efficient, this tool is precision-engineered and should not be used as a substitute for a heavy-duty breaker bar or impact wrench, as extreme over-torqueing may damage the fine-tooth gear mechanism.

FAQs

Can I use this wrench to break loose seized bolts?

No. The ratcheting mechanism is precision-made for speed. Use a standard non-ratcheting wrench or a dedicated breaker bar for initial high-torque loosening.

Is the 13mm size compatible with standard metric bolts?

Yes, this wrench is engineered to fit standard 13mm metric hardware perfectly.

How do I switch the direction of the ratchet?

There is a small lever on the side of the ratcheting head that you toggle to switch between tightening and loosening.

What is the material composition of the tool?

The tool is constructed from high-quality professional-grade steel with a polished chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Does the 5-degree arc apply to both directions?

Yes, the precision internal gears provide a 5-degree swing arc regardless of which direction the lever is set.

Troubleshooting

Ratcheting mechanism feels stuck or gritty

Clean the ratchet head with a solvent to remove debris, then apply a drop of light machine oil and rotate the mechanism several times to clear internal blockage.

Tool slips off the fastener

Verify that you are using the correct 13mm size and that the fastener head is not damaged or rounded. Ensure the wrench is seated flush against the bolt head.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely smooth ratcheting action for rapid fastening
  • Excellent accessibility due to the slim, angled box-end design
  • High-quality polished finish prevents rust and is easy to wipe clean
  • Minimal 5-degree arc allows work in confined engine compartments
  • Reversible feature saves significant time during assembly and disassembly

Cons

  • Not intended for high-torque 'breaking' of rusted or seized bolts
  • Higher price point compared to entry-level or non-ratcheting wrenches
  • Requires careful cleaning to prevent grit from entering the internal gear teeth

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no setup required for the Facom 467BR; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To ensure the longevity of your tool:

  • Maintenance: Regularly wipe the tool with a clean, dry cloth. If it is exposed to heavy degreasers or grit, rinse gently and re-lubricate the ratcheting head with a light machine oil.
  • Compatibility: Ensure you are using the correct 13mm size to prevent rounding off the fastener head. Always ensure the wrench is fully seated on the bolt before applying force.
  • Storage: Store in a dry tool chest or hanging rack. Avoid throwing the tool into a pile of loose metal objects, as this can scratch the polished finish.
