Facom 1/2" Drive 6pt Metric Tool Set with Telescoping Flex Head Ratchet & Detection Box (SXL.DBOX3) - This is my new favorite 1/2" drive set. The design aspects are brilliant and the set was recently featured in France Design magazine (April 2014).

The new SXL.171 telescoping ratchet, with a range of 12-17", offers great flexibility and leverage. This locking extensions and a locking ratchet head prevent socket loss. There's also an adapter to use 3/4" drive sockets although for applications of 250 ft lbs or greater torque, I'd still go with a 3/4" drive ratchet or breaker bar.

The "Detection-Box" Series takes design and innovation a step further with a compact case that allows the user to do a full inventory of tool contents, even with the case closed. As such, these new sets meet FOD (Foreign Object Damage) regulations in those industries impose tight security measures and demand high-performance tools and equipment.

• SXL.171 Ratchet (Length = 304-437mm)
• 1/2" Drive 6pt Shallow sockets...10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 & 32mm.
