Facom 40R Series Fast-Action Combination Wrench (14mm) - (Facom Classic) - OGV box end for greater torque transmission without damaging the fastener. Fast action open end for fast rotation without having to lift and reposition the wrench.....wrench automatically locks onto the next flats of the fastener after each turn. This 14mm size is very close to 9/16" and useful with most 1/4" air plugs/nipples (also for most coax F-connectors). Satin chrome finish.
The FACOM 40R.14 is a professional-grade 14 mm "Fast-Action" ratcheting combination wrench. Rather than relying on internal mechanical gears, this specialty wrench achieves a mechanical ratcheting effect strictly through geometric relief cuts in its open-end jaw. This design delivers maximum reliability without moving parts that can lock up or fail.
Key Technical Specifications
- Fastener Size: 14 mm (Highly versatile size; functionally very close to 9/16" and ideal for 1/4" air couplers and coax F-connectors).
- Total Length: 172 mm to 179 mm.
- Box-End Profile: 12-point OGV® (Open Grip Valve) design. The profile is angled at a 15° offset to keep your knuckles clear of surrounding work surfaces.
- Material & Finish: High-alloy industrial steel coated in a premium, anti-slip satin chrome finish.
- Weight: 80 grams (0.08 kg).
The Fast-Action Open End Mechanics
- Ratcheting Mechanism: The jaw profile is forged with a precise central protrusion and dedicated relief channels. When turning a bolt in the power direction, it establishes three points of contact on the flat zones.
- Seamless Reset: When pushed backward in reverse (a dead recovery angle of 60°), the relief cuts allow the wrench head to glide cleanly over the corners of the hex nut and automatically lock onto the next set of flats. You do not have to lift or remove the tool to reset the turn.
- Target Environment: This tool is the industry favorite for tight, inline components where a closed box-end cannot physically slide over the top—such as automotive hydraulic brake lines, plumbing pipes, AC lines, and deep-set fuel injection rails.
