Facom JL.161 3/8" Drive Dust Proof Fine Tooth Palm Control Ratchet

The Facom JL.161 is a professional 3/8" drive ratchet engineered for demanding workshop environments. Designed with a dust-proof, maintenance-free mechanism, this palm control ratchet delivers reliable performance in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications where durability and precision are essential.

The fine-tooth 72-teeth mechanism provides 5° working increments, enabling accurate operation in confined spaces where standard ratchets cannot achieve the required sweep angle. The innovative palm control system allows operators to apply downward pressure on the head, preventing accidental reversal during use—particularly valuable when working in awkward positions or with one hand.

Built for real-world workshop conditions, the JL.161 features an ultra-compact head for improved access and an ergonomic comfort grip handle that reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The drive direction switch remains easy to operate even with gloved or greasy hands, whilst the chemical and solvent-resistant construction ensures longevity in harsh environments. A built-in hanging hook provides convenient storage when working at height, making this ratchet ideal for automotive technicians, plant maintenance engineers, and mobile mechanics who demand professional-grade tools.
