## Description

The Facom SL.161 is a professional-grade 1/2" drive ratchet featuring a dust-proof fine tooth mechanism, designed for reliable performance in demanding workshop environments. This versatile tool is compatible with a wide range of 1/2" square drive sockets and accessories, making it suitable for automotive repair, mechanical maintenance, and heavy-duty assembly work. The dust-proof design keeps internal components protected from debris and contaminants, ensuring maintenance-free operation and long-term reliability even in harsh conditions. With a 72-tooth mechanism providing precise 5° increments, the ratchet delivers smooth, controlled operation in confined spaces where traditional ratchets struggle to perform. Engineered for real-world use, the SL.161 features an intuitive drive direction switch that allows easy reversal even when wearing gloves or with greasy hands. The palm control system enables operators to press down on the head, preventing accidental reverse during critical fastening operations. The ultra-compact head design maximises accessibility in tight work areas, while the integrated hanging hook provides secure storage when working at height. The ergonomic comfort grip handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use and is specifically resistant to workshop chemicals and solvents, maintaining its integrity in professional trade environments.
