Facom Tool - Year End Sale

[ultgar]

In December each year, I usually run a sale on Facom, often to get rid of overstock or obsolete items. This year I've listed 100 items, most of them popular and current, in an attempt to introduce new customers to the brand. Items are deeply discounted and quantities are limited to what I have in stock. $10 flat rate shipping on most items. See http://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/index.php?cPath=1201 .

The current (Dec 1) Facom master list (approx 4,000 items) with list prices and country of origin is located on my website... http://www.ultimategarage2.com/Facom-Inventory.xls .

Thank you for the heads up, Steve.

Do you ship to Canada (Ontario)

Do you ship to Canada (Ontario)

I can but shipping (even via USPS) is expensive. Cheapest shipping (for a small flat rate box) is $26.00. See http://www.ultimategarage.com/shipcanada.html for other sizes and rates.

I have to process non-US orders manually and bill via Paypal.

Ordered some today, thanks for the heads up. I used to sell SK and always wanted to try some Facom tools.

You will be pleased, some of the SK during the Facom era was made in France,like the screwdrivers and the Tuff1/ palm control ratchets were Facom designed.

I don't think I own a single Facom tool. Maybe this would be the time go get one!

Any particular gems from the Facom lineup?

Most of the 1/2" & 1/4" sets on page 1, what is the COO?

I purchased the angled socket wrenches from Steve, don't think I paid $300 for them though. http://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/part.php?products_id=7367

Most of the 1/2" & 1/4" sets on page 1, what is the COO?

There is a spreadsheet with all of the coos. The sockets sets tend to be mixed, with iconic Facom ratchets made in italy and sockets oem'd in taiwan. The production quality is outstanding. Highe engineering spec and good quality control.

Beyond that...significant portions of the cataolg remain EU, with france germany and Italy (notably, screwdrivers and their first rate pliers). Some other common tools, needed to fill out a huge catalog, are made elsewhere in asia, including some in china (eg similar to snap on blue point).

Well worth downloading the excel spread sheet if you have even a passing interest in COO or "thre reality" modern corporate manufacturing. Other than snap on's websiteg, very few companies have as good a disclosure as Facom has thanks to Ultgar.

The case and tray are made in France, the ratchets in Italy, and the sockets & drive accessories in Taiwan.

I ordered a screwdriver set, some offset wrenches, and a socket set, supposed to be here today..... Very much looking forward to them arriving, so then I can order more!

Here's another list that runs through year end that's buried on the site. These are closeout items, most of them made in France. There are also a few Virax tools on the list as Virax was one of Facom's companies that made plumbing/pipework tools. See http://www.ultimategarage2.com/facomcloseout3.html .

Because of the discount pricing, I have to manually invoice these. For smaller items that will fit in a small Flat Rate box, shipping will be capped at $7.00.

I see a ratcheting wrench module set, that has blem in the part number, which I assume means blemished. Does that mean the tray is damaged?

Blemished means there are minor dents in the trays....the tools are perfect. This happens a lot, especially with the foam trays, when the tools come out of their slots in the trays (in transit from France) and make dents in the foam. The dents may come out with the use of an iron but its not worth the trouble.....I just discount them an sell them as "blemished".

Facom needs to start shrink wrapping the sets so the tools stay in their spots.

Thanks...that's quite a "global" set.
