CDX Kits Currently Available
Facom
offers a nice selection of CDX sockets (metric 6pt
and 12pt), ratchets and accessories in Europe.
Unfortunately, SK never brought this part of the
Facom product line to the US although I was able to
special order a few sets for personal use and
evaluation.
The
CDX1 set is very basic but a
nice kit to throw in the car for emergencies. With
the addition of a breaker bar, an adapter or 2, and a
few specialty sockets, it'll handle just about any
fastener you throw at it.
This
kit includes (13) 6-point CDX sockets (8mm, 10-19mm,
22mm and 24mm), a locking 5" extension and an
SJ171 CDX ratchet.
With
Stanley-Proto as the new owner of Facom, I've
recently been able to import Facom's largest metric
CDX kit....CDX5. This
set includes 17 6pt CDX sockets (8mm, 10-19mm,
21-22mm, 24mm, 27mm, 30mm and 32mm), a 5" and
10" locking extension, a CDX universal joint, a
pair of CDX to square drive adapters, and the
long-reach locking SJ.174 CDX ratchet.
The
only other CDX kit I have at this time is the Limited
Edition Ferrari Set (#2). Only 2,000 of these were
produced worldwide with 300 coming to the North
American market.
Kits
are individually numbered and all of the tools
(excluding the 13 bits) have been finished with a
black nickel plating. This set is for collectors. If
you want a set thats more usable, go with the basis
CDX kit.
