## Description

The Facom SL.171SLS is a professional 1/2" drive ratchet specifically designed for working at height, featuring an integrated SLS attachment solution to prevent accidental tool drops. This maintenance-free pear head ratchet combines dust-sealed reliability with exceptional chemical resistance, making it ideal for demanding workshop and industrial environments. Built with a 72-tooth mechanism providing precise 5° increments, this ratchet delivers excellent manoeuvrability in confined spaces thanks to its ultra-compact head design. The dust-proof mechanism ensures consistent performance across all working conditions without requiring maintenance, whilst the socket safety lock prevents sockets from falling into machinery during operation. The bi-material elastomer handle offers superior resistance to the most severe workshop solvents, including SP95, SP98, diesel fuel, acetone, brake fluid, Skydrol, jet oil and jet fuel. The palm control system allows operators to press down on the head to avoid accidental reversal, whilst the drive direction switch enables easy reversal even when wearing gloves or working with greasy hands. This ratchet is particularly suited to automotive technicians, aircraft maintenance engineers, and industrial mechanics who work at height or in challenging environments where tool security and chemical resistance are paramount.
