The FACOM 40.1P5/8LA (often stamped or cataloged as 40.1'5/8LA) is a professional-grade, fractional 1-5/8" extra-long high-torque combination wrench. Sitting at the heavy-duty industrial end of FACOM's professional tool lineup, the "LA" suffix designates it as a long-shank variation designed to deliver maximum leverage for demanding heavy automotive, maritime, and structural industrial applications.
Key Technical Specifications
- Fastener Size: 1-5/8 inches (Fractional SAE)
- Total Length: 615 mm (~24.21 inches) of extended handle length to maximize torque transfer with minimal physical user effort.
- Box-End Profile: 12-point ring geometry utilizing FACOM's signature OGV® profile. This design drives from the flat sides of a large hex head rather than loading stress onto the corners, drastically reducing the risk of fastener rounding under heavy load.
- Offset Geometry: Both the open-end head and the closed 12-point ring are angled at a 15° offset to ensure clear hand and knuckle clearance away from flat machinery plates or engine cowls.
- Material & Finish: Forged from high-grade alloy steel with a premium, chrome-plated satin finish that resists workshop chemicals and slips.
- Weight: ~1.73 kg (approx. 3.8 to 3.9 lbs).
- Standard Compliance: Fully conforms to ASME B107.100 industrial engineering standards.
Market & Availability Status - Because FACOM has significantly consolidated its fractional imperial production runs over the years, this specialized high-torque 1-5/8" wrench can be difficult to source. Remaining original new old stock (NOS) variants are highly collectible and available through technical supplier channels like Ultimate Garage .
