Low hanging, American english speaking only, or move along.

Try editing your post to say "ratchet wrenches"" rather than "spanners", either that or go "all in" and brag about your recent links experience with your niblick.

Forgot about Ferrari using Facom but when I was there the official supplier was the Italian manufacturer Beta

Some sockets were custom, the socket pictured is an evolution of the very 1st F1 wheel gun 'smart socket' I designed. It was machined from titanium for lightness, had a built in strain gauge which counted the impacts to illuminate a green light on the gun to let the mechanic know the wheel nut has been tightened



Facom made a bespoke titanium car tool kit for the McLaren F1 but you needed a guy in a van following with a giant torque wrench and spare wheel if you needed to fix a flat
