Product Information
Full details
The Facom AMR is a compact, precision-focused manual screwdriver designed for electronics technicians, hobbyists, and professionals working on intricate hardware. Its primary benefit is its portability and integrated storage, which keeps essential blades ready for use in a lightweight 14g frame, though users should note it is strictly for small slotted-head fasteners and not intended for high-torque applications.

FAQs
Can I use this screwdriver with Phillips head screws?
No, the Facom AMR is specifically designed for slotted (flat-head) screws only.
What is the total weight of the tool including all blades?
The total weight of the tool is approximately 14 grams.
Are the blades interchangeable with other Facom models?
These blades are specifically designed for the AMR model; using non-standard blades may result in a poor fit.
Is the handle magnetic?
No, the handle utilizes a physical seating mechanism rather than a magnet to hold the blades.
How do I ensure the blades don't fall out of the handle storage?
The storage compartment is designed to be secure, but ensure the end cap is fully tightened or closed after retrieving your blade.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels loose during use
Ensure the blade is fully inserted into the handle aperture until it locks into position.
Difficulty extracting blades from the handle
Tip the handle downwards and gently tap it against a soft surface to help the blades slide out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Facom AMR is straightforward: remove the handle cap to access the blades, slide your desired blade into the aperture, and ensure it is seated correctly before applying pressure. This tool is compatible with standard slotted fasteners of the specified sizes. For maintenance, simply wipe the tool down with a clean, lint-free cloth after use. While the chrome finish is durable, avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the grip. Store the tool in a dry environment to ensure the blades remain rust-free.
