Facom MicroTech Hex Driver (88E series) with Spherical Tip (88E.3x75) - 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.3x75 is a professional-grade 3mm metric precision micro-hex screwdriver from Facom's classic 88E MicroTech series. It is precision-engineered for electronic repair, watchmaking, medical equipment calibration, and aerospace assembly where tiny metric hex fasteners are heavily utilized.
Note: This specific series featuring a spherical ball tip is officially discontinued by Facom. It has been replaced by the modern 84E series (which lacks the spherical ball tip functionality), making remaining new-old-stock (NOS) stock highly desirable for specialized precision tool chests.
- Drive Geometry: 3.0 mm metric hexagon profile.
- Spherical Ball Tip: Ground with a precise spherical shape at the working tip. This contour allows you to smoothly engage and spin fasteners from a severe entry angle of up to 30 degrees when surrounding obstructions prevent a straight, direct approach.
- Blade Dimensions: Features a premium hardened-steel shank extending 75mm in length with a burnished finish to minimize profile wear and maximize dimensional accuracy.
- MicroTech Handle Architecture: Crafted with Facom's slim body styling that incorporates a revolving rear end cap. This allows you to place your palm or index finger on the cap to steady the tool while using your thumb and forefinger to rapidly rotate the body of the driver shank.
- Finger-Tip Control Grip: Styled with a narrowed, grooved neck just above the blade entry point to deliver extreme tactile feedback and to ensure the narrow workpiece remains completely visible.
