Product Information
Full details
The Facom Tee-Handled Torx Driver (89TXA.10) is a professional-grade manual tool specifically designed for mechanics and technicians who require high torque and repetitive use efficiency. Its ergonomic soft-grip handle provides superior control and reduces hand fatigue, making it an excellent choice for assembly work, though its fixed size means users needing multiple head sizes will require a full set of individual drivers.

FAQs
Can I use this tool for automotive engine work?
Yes, provided the fasteners are T10 Torx. Its high-torque construction is designed for such professional applications.
Is the T10 tip magnetic?
No, the Facom 89TXA.10 does not feature a magnetic tip.
What is the purpose of the dual-ended handle?
It allows the user to switch grip positions to optimize leverage and comfort depending on the angle of the fastener.
Is this tool safe for use on live electrical components?
No, this is a standard hand tool and is not insulated. Never use it on live electrical circuits.
How do I know if I have a T10 bolt?
A T10 bolt will have a six-pointed star recess. You can verify the size by checking your equipment's service manual or using a thread gauge.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty seating the tool into the bolt head
Ensure the bolt head is clean of debris or paint; check that the screw is actually a T10 and not a T9 or T15.
Surface rust appearing on the shaft
Clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad, then apply a thin layer of machine oil to protect the finish.
Handle feeling loose or slipping
Verify the handle is dry and free of lubricants; if the handle is physically damaged, the tool should be replaced for safety.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Facom driver, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: This tool is strictly for T10 Torx-compatible fasteners. Never attempt to use it on different sizes or alternative bolt profiles like Phillips or flathead.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the black oxidized coating. Avoid leaving it in damp conditions to prevent surface oxidation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the shaft with a clean, dry cloth after use. If exposed to grease or oils, use a light degreaser, then dry immediately.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the T10 tip for signs of wear or rounding; if the tip shows deformation, discontinue use to prevent damage to expensive equipment fasteners.
