Product Information

Full details

The Facom 467BR 18mm Ratchet Spanner is an essential tool for automotive mechanics and maintenance professionals who require speed and precision in confined spaces. Its primary benefit is the reversible ratcheting mechanism, which significantly increases productivity by allowing for continuous turning without lifting the tool from the fastener. While it offers exceptional high-torque performance, users should note that the specialized internal mechanism requires careful handling to maintain its 5-degree precision over time.

FAQs

Can I use this wrench on metric or imperial fasteners?

This tool is designed specifically for 18mm metric fasteners.

Does this wrench have a lifetime warranty?

Facom tools are known for high-quality industrial standards; please refer to your regional distributor for specific warranty terms.

Is the ratchet head rebuildable?

The 467BR is designed as a sealed, high-durability unit; attempts to open the housing may void the warranty.

What is the total length of the spanner?

The 467BR 18mm model has an overall length of 236mm.

Can I use this for high-torque applications?

The open-end side is designed for higher torque, while the ratchet side is designed for speed and rapid engagement.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism feels gritty or skips.

Clean the ratchet head with a mild solvent and apply a few drops of light machine oil to the mechanism.

Direction switch feels loose or moves on its own.

Ensure no debris is trapped in the switch housing and verify the switch is fully engaged in the locked position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid fastening capability reduces labor time.
  • Excellent access in restricted spaces due to the 5-degree swing.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant chrome finish.
  • Integrated switch prevents accidental reversal during operation.
  • High-torque capacity protects both the tool and the hardware.

Cons

  • Mechanical components require protection from heavy dirt and metal debris.
  • Single-size 18mm design necessitates carrying a full set for varied tasks.
  • Premium investment compared to non-ratcheting standard spanners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The 467BR is a standalone tool and requires no complex setup. It is fully compatible with standard 18mm hexagonal fasteners. To maintain the life of the ratchet mechanism, avoid using cheater bars or extensions, as excessive leverage can exceed the design tolerance of the internal pawl system.

Keep the tool clean by wiping it with a dry cloth after use. If the ratchet head becomes contaminated with heavy grime, use a light degreaser and follow up with a light machine oil to keep the internal mechanism moving freely. Store the tool in a clean, dry toolbox to prevent oxidation on the polished finish.
