Product Information
Full details
The Facom 27mm Hex Key (82H.27) is a professional-grade manual tool engineered for industrial technicians and mechanics who require a robust, high-torque solution for 27mm metric bolts. Its primary advantage lies in its industrial-strength durability and precision machining, ensuring a perfect fit to prevent fastener stripping. However, users should be aware that due to its large size and L-shaped fixed design, it is best suited for applications where there is sufficient swing clearance, and it may not be suitable for extremely restricted, low-clearance environments.

FAQs
Can I use a hammer on the end of this hex key?
No, this tool is designed for manual torque application only. Impact forces can damage the steel and compromise its structural integrity.
Is this tool compatible with Imperial bolts?
No, this is a metric tool designed specifically for 27mm fasteners and should not be used on Imperial sized bolts to avoid damage.
Does the tool come with a warranty?
Facom tools are generally covered by professional-grade warranties. Please check with your local dealer or the official Facom support documentation regarding your specific purchase region.
How do I ensure a good grip if my hands are oily?
The tool is designed with a high-quality finish, but for best results, wipe both the tool and your hands with a degreasing cleaner before applying maximum torque.
Can I use this with an extension pipe for more leverage?
It is not recommended, as excessive force can cause the tool to snap suddenly, creating a safety hazard.
Troubleshooting
Tool feels loose in the bolt head
Verify that the bolt head is clean of debris or paint; if the bolt head is stripped, use a bolt extractor rather than forcing the hex key.
Surface rust appearing on the shaft
Gently scrub the affected area with a light abrasive pad and apply a thin layer of machine oil or protective lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal setup and is compatible with any standard 27mm internal hex bolt. To ensure long-term performance, avoid using 'cheater bars' or hollow pipes to extend the leverage, as this can exceed the fatigue limits of the steel. After use in greasy or oily environments, wipe the key down with a clean shop rag to prevent grime buildup. Store the tool in a dry, organized toolbox tray; while the finish is corrosion-resistant, keeping it away from moisture ensures the integrity of the steel for years to come.
