## Description

The Facom JXL.171 is a professional-grade 3/8" drive extendable ratchet designed for demanding workshop and automotive applications. This 2-in-1 tool combines an extending handle with a flexible, lockable head to deliver exceptional versatility in confined spaces whilst providing the extra leverage needed for stubborn fixings. The extendable design allows the handle to adjust from 247mm to 355mm across 8 secure positions, offering higher torque application with less effort in extended mode, whilst remaining compact for storage when closed. The 180° hinged head locks firmly in position even with a socket engaged, whilst the 72-tooth mechanism provides precise 5° increment adjustments for working in restricted access areas. Built for durability in harsh environments, this ratchet features a maintenance-free mechanism sealed against industrial dust, ensuring long-term reliability regardless of working conditions. The palm control system prevents accidental direction reversal during operation, whilst the bi-material elastomer grip resists abrasion and the most severe workshop solvents including diesel, acetone, brake fluid, Skydrol, Jet Oil and kerosene. Socket safety locking prevents losses inside machinery, and a lever reversing system operates easily even when wearing gloves. The handle includes a hole for strapping when working at height, meeting modern safety requirements for elevated work.
