## Description

The Facom RL.171SLS is a compact 1/4" drive palm control ratchet engineered specifically for working at height, featuring an integrated SLS attachment solution to prevent accidental tool drops. This maintenance-free pear head ratchet combines a dust-sealed mechanism with exceptional chemical resistance, making it ideal for automotive workshops, aviation maintenance, and industrial environments where tools are exposed to harsh solvents and elevated working conditions. The 72-tooth mechanism delivers precise 5° increments, allowing access in the tightest spaces whilst the ultra-compact head design ensures manoeuvrability in confined areas. The innovative palm control system enables operators to press down on the head during operation, reducing the risk of accidental reversal during critical fastening tasks. A socket safety lock prevents sockets from falling into machinery, whilst the drive direction switch facilitates easy reversal even when wearing gloves or working with greasy hands. Built for demanding professional environments, the bi-material elastomer handle resists abrasion and withstands exposure to severe workshop solvents including SP95, SP98, diesel fuel, acetone, brake fluid, Skydrol, jet oil and jet fuel. The dust-proof sealed mechanism ensures reliable performance across all working conditions without requiring maintenance, making this ratchet particularly suitable for mechanics, aircraft technicians and industrial contractors working in challenging environments or at height.
