Key Features of Facom Welding Tools

• Heat-resistant construction: Tools for hot work use materials and handle designs suited to radiant heat and the odd spatter hit, so handles stay usable and the tool lasts.
• Hardened steel working parts: Jaws, heads and edges are heat treated to resist wear from abrasive scale and slag, keeping their grip and cutting action over time.
• Ergonomic handles: Contoured, balanced handles reduce hand fatigue during long fabrication sessions and give better control when positioning parts.
• Corrosion-resistant finishes: Protective surface treatments help tools cope with damp workshops, cutting fluids and site storage.
• Accurate marking and holding tools: Squares, scribers and magnetic holders help you set up parts correctly before tacking, which means less rework later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right Facom welding tool?

Start with the stage of the job. Choose pliers or grips for handling hot work, chipping hammers and brushes for cleaning, and squares or magnetic holders for setting up. Then check that the tool suits the heat and spatter you will be working in.

Can I use these tools with MIG, TIG and stick welding?
