Thief.

I came real close to buying that set but my money went to Epstein instead. Still want it though.

Good buy! Was it a one off special on Ebay?

 

[Robbie UK]

Very good price - where from as I have been looking for a good price on these for a while?

 

[willhollin]

I think we need a UK specific bargain tools thread.

Could get expensive though.

 

[Robbie UK]

willhollin, that is a great idea!

Feel free to start one (as it was your idea) and I will join you there. I would not be surprised to see Rico in such a thread, given his (understandable) passion for Facom in the UK.

Yes, made by Toptul.

No sign of the 14 piece set on the website jeff g; they have the smaller 12 piece set for £76.28 so it looks like you got a remarkable and unrepeatable deal!!!

OR

Search "Facom 440" in the box and filter the results so the highest price is first.

 

[Robbie UK]

Ordered!!

Funny, searching for Facom spanners didn't bring it up, but did bring up the smaller versions. Found it search for Facom on its own and sorting by price, but the tips above is better.

Even with the £6 delivery charge (zero above £100 order) the price is very good. Given that the site lists the Facom 9 piece set at £54.73 and the 12 piece at £76.28 I wonder if the price is a mistake!!

Hi



Are Toptul good

Yes, like Facom. (sorry, couldn't resist)

 

[CanUK]

Now ordered for myself as well. Already own these but the price was too good to pass up so I guess now I have one set for the cabinet and one for the toolbox.

This should definitely be added to the UK Hot Deals thread.

Did someone say Facom...


I've Already posted in that thread.... That set of spanners is an absolute
bargain, I'm a big fan of these, have a set 4mm - 34mm. That is a fantastic
buy... Nice one.

I meant to ask - did the two foam modules fit OK in that drawer or did you have to modify them at all? I'm short about 9mm (front to back) in total so thinking if I get them I'll need to knock a couple mm off of each long edge to get them in the drawer.

Hi
Just ordered 2 sets for my m8s.

They will kill me if there all gone.

Got myself the 20, 21 & 23mm, so now have a 7 to 24mm set
below 7mm is a bit small for me, but will get up to 32mm later.

It was tight, but they did squeeze in without any modification. Being foam
they can squish up a little bit, so you should be fine without messing with them.

You're a good friend.....

I bought the same set last year for 55 GBP, 38 is a great deal. Solid wrench set that I throw in my Facom cantilever box flanked by the Facom nano set

How's that beam feel when you pull on it?
