Product Information
Full details
The Facom U.14A is a specialized tool engineered for professional technicians who require precision extraction in confined mechanical spaces. Its primary benefit is the spring-loaded, self-gripping leg mechanism that enables reliable, hands-free operation when working with small, delicate components like bearings or battery terminals. While highly effective for its 0.5-tonne capacity, it is important to note that this tool is designed exclusively for small-scale, light-duty applications and should not be used for heavy-duty industrial extraction.
