Facom MicroTech Hex Driver (88E series) with Spherical Tip (88E.3/32x75) - Precision Hex Driver - Micro-Tech handle with revolving end. Burnished shank and tip. Grooved taper improves finger grip for fast rotation and gives an unobstructed view of the blade and workpiece.
New (old stock) of the now discontinued 88E series (the 84E series without the spherical tip is still available). Made in France.
The Facom 88E.3/32 is a legacy, professional-grade 3/32" fractional (SAE) precision micro-hex driver. It belongs to Facom's specialized 88E MicroTech series, which is highly sought after by mechanics, electronics technicians, and instrument builders for working on small, delicate assemblies requiring fractional hex fasteners.
Note: The original 88E precision line with the spherical tip profile has been officially discontinued by Facom, making remaining vintage or new-old-stock (NOS) drivers hard-to-find collector items.
Product Specifications
- Drive Size: 3/32" standard fractional SAE hexagon tip.
- Spherical Ball End: Features a precision-ground ball tip at the working end. This allows you to smoothly spin fasteners from an angled entry point of up to 30 degrees, which is essential when a straight, direct approach is blocked by nearby components.
- MicroTech Handle Architecture: Designed with Facom's classic miniature ergonomic grip featuring a revolving end cap. The free-spinning rear cap allows you to rest your palm or finger against it while using your thumb and forefinger to rapidly rotate the body of the driver.
- Tapered Precision Grip: Crafted with a grooved, narrow taper right above the blade shank. This gives your fingertips fine torque control while maintaining a completely unobstructed view of both the hex tip and the tiny workpiece.
- Blade Details: Engineered with a rigid, burnished steel shank and tip to maximize dimensional accuracy and prevent slipping inside miniature fastener heads.
Sourcing Note - Because this vintage line is long discontinued, it is rarely found via mainstream retail distribution. If you are hunting down single replacement pieces or a full fractional MicroTech set to complete a workspace kit, specialized vintage tool importers or liquidation platforms like Ultimate Garage are typically the best avenues for tracking remaining new-old-stock components.
