Product Information
Full details
The Facom AM.4 5 Piece Multi Blade Set is an essential tool solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a compact yet versatile kit for various screw drive patterns. Its key benefit lies in the space-saving double-ended blade design that fits into a secure, spring-retained handle, though users should note that the 1/4-inch hex shank design is optimized for manual driving rather than high-torque impact applications.

FAQs
Can I use standard 1/4-inch hex bits with this handle?
The handle is specifically engineered for the Facom double-ended blade system's length and retention requirements, though some standard bits may fit, they may not lock securely.
Are the blades magnetic?
The blades are held in place by a mechanical spring retention system, not magnets.
Is the AM.4 set suitable for high-torque mechanical work?
No, this set is designed for manual, light-to-medium duty fastening. Excessive force may damage the handle or the blade tips.
How many total drive tips are included?
The set includes 5 double-ended blades, providing a total of 10 different drive tips.
What should I do if I lose a blade?
Facom components are often sold through specialized industrial suppliers; check with your local distributor for replacement part availability for the AM.4 series.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels loose in the handle
Ensure the blade is fully inserted past the spring and check the handle cavity for debris or dust buildup.
Difficulty removing the blade
Apply a firm, steady pull. The spring mechanism is designed for a secure fit to prevent accidental dropping.
Tips showing signs of wear
Since the tips are fixed to the double-ended shafts, ensure you are using the correct size for the screw to prevent premature stripping.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely compact for easy tool belt or pocket storage
- High-quality material construction consistent with Facom standards
- Quick and easy blade changes due to the spring-retained system
- Versatile range of tips in a single lightweight package
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty power tool impact usage
- The small handle size may cause fatigue during prolonged high-torque applications
- Limited to the included blade range; cannot be expanded with standard bits
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, simply insert the desired double-ended blade into the 1/4-inch hex receiver on the handle; the internal spring will click to indicate the blade is seated correctly. When changing blades, pull firmly to overcome the spring tension. To maintain the set, keep the blades clean of grease and debris to ensure they lock properly. The wallet should be stored in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Should the retaining spring feel loose after extensive use, inspect the handle cavity for trapped debris that may be preventing a full connection.
