Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Facom 467B.19 19mm Ratchet Combination Spanner used for?
The Facom 467B.19 19mm Ratchet Combination Spanner is a professional hand tool designed for tightening 19mm metric fasteners in automotive, mechanical, aerospace, engineering and maintenance applications. Its compact ratchet head and 5° operating angle make it particularly useful when working in confined or restricted-access areas where a conventional spanner is difficult to operate.
What is the advantage of the 5° ratcheting mechanism?
The 5° ratcheting mechanism means the spanner only requires a small amount of movement to engage the next ratchet position. This makes the Facom 467B.19 particularly effective in tight spaces where there is limited room to move the handle. The fine ratcheting action allows fasteners to be tightened or loosened efficiently without repeatedly removing and repositioning the spanner.
Is the Facom 467B.19 suitable for aerospace applications?
Yes. The Facom 467B.19 ratchet combination spanner is designed to meet ISO 17111 standards and is suitable for demanding professional applications, including aerospace and precision engineering. Its compact ratchet mechanism, controlled operation and robust construction make it suitable for maintenance and repair work where accuracy and reliability are important.
What makes the Facom 467B.19 different from a standard combination spanner?
Unlike a conventional combination spanner, the Facom 467B.19 incorporates a reversible ratchet mechanism within the ring end. The 19mm ratcheting ring allows continuous fastening without removing the spanner from the nut or bolt, while the integral reversing lever allows the direction to be changed quickly. The 15° angled head also provides improved access and clearance around fasteners.
What size fasteners does the Facom 467B.19 fit?
The Facom 467B.19 is designed specifically for 19mm metric nuts and bolts. It is a ratcheting combination spanner, providing a ratchet ring end for faster fastening and an open-ended end for applications where access from the side is required. This makes the 19mm Facom spanner a versatile addition to professional automotive, engineering and maintenance toolkits.
Why choose a Facom 467B.19 19mm ratchet spanner?
The Facom 467B.19 19mm ratchet spanner combines professional-grade construction with precision engineering and a compact design. Its 5° ratchet increment, 15° angled head, integral reversing lever and satin chrome finish make it an excellent choice for professional mechanics, engineers, aerospace technicians and maintenance specialists who require dependable performance in restricted-access applications.
