Facom 1/2 in Ratchet with Bi-Material Elastomer Handle, Compact Head, Satin Chrome Finish, 72 Tooth, 260mm Overall S.161BPB

Facom S.161BPB 1/2 in Ratchet with Bi-Material Elastomer Handle is a professional-grade socket wrench measuring 260mm overall length, engineered to deliver precision and durability in demanding industrial applications. The compact round head is 10% smaller than earlier models, enabling work in confined spaces with ease.

This ratchet features a high-performance 72-tooth mechanism offering a 5° arc swing, allowing for fine incremental movement and efficient tightening or loosening of fasteners. The reversing action is easily operated via a rotating cap, facilitating smooth tool operation.

Its bi-material elastomer handle is ergonomically designed for user comfort and exhibits high resistance to abrasion and harsh workshop solvents such as SP95, SP98 fuels, diesel, acetone, brake fluid, Skydrol, jet oil, and kerosene, ensuring longevity under tough conditions. A hanging hole on the handle provides convenience when working at heights or for tool storage.

The ratchet mechanism is sealed to IP51 standards, protecting internal parts from industrial dust ingress, thereby extending service life and enhancing reliability. Made from chrome vanadium steel with a satin chrome finish, the ratchet offers excellent durability against wear and corrosion.

Compliance with international standards DIN 3122, ASME B107.110, and ISO 3315 assures adherence to quality and safety benchmarks suitable for automotive, manufacturing, maintenance, construction, and aerospace industries. Maintenance is further facilitated through available spare parts kits (R.161B-KIT, J.161B-KIT, S-161BKIT), simplifying upkeep and repair.
