The Facom 14mm Magnetic Hex Drive Oil Drain Key is a professional-grade tool designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who perform regular automotive oil changes. Its primary benefit is the integrated magnetic tip, which prevents drain plugs from falling into messy oil collection containers, saving time and frustration. While this tool is exceptionally durable and reliable for metric applications, users should note it is specifically sized for 14mm hex plugs and will not fit other sizes, necessitating a full set for varied vehicle maintenance.

No, this is a 3/8-inch drive socket and requires a separate ratchet or handle.
This tool is specifically engineered for 14mm metric hex applications and may not fit or function safely on imperial-sized plugs.
The magnet is calibrated to securely hold standard automotive oil drain plugs without being so strong that it is difficult to remove the plug from the tool once the oil change is complete.
The chrome finish is designed to be oil and chemical resistant, though it is best to dry the tool thoroughly after using aggressive solvents.
Facom tools are professional grade and typically backed by a comprehensive warranty. Please refer to the specific Facom documentation included with your purchase for regional terms.
Clean the magnetic tip with a dry cloth to remove metal shavings or oil buildup that may be interfering with the magnetic contact.
Verify that the drain plug is indeed a 14mm hex and ensure the tool is pushed fully onto the bolt head before applying pressure.
Setup: To use, insert the MB.H14 into a 3/8-inch drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the drain plug before applying torque to avoid stripping.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for 14mm metric hex drain plugs. It is fully compatible with any standard 3/8-inch drive manual handle or torque wrench.
Care: After use, wipe the tool down with a clean, lint-free shop towel to remove residual oil. Periodically check the magnetic tip for metallic debris that may have collected during use; wiping this clean ensures the magnet remains strong for the next service.
