Facom pipe wrench

[Bornfree]

I need some replacement jaws for my facom 134a .18 pipe wrench. I've searched the web with no luck any ideas? Or is it throw away and buy new.

Perhaps, one of the members in France, might be able to get a set?

I've not seen a pair of stilsons with removable jaws !

They have the weight for the 'spring pin' one incorrect.

Their images are lifted from facom.com.pl (Poland) so that might get you a proper part number.

I see now they are aluminium , so the bottom jaw is held on with a pin , see where your coming from now

Try your local MacTools van, might get them on warranty?

Easy.

Find a Facom reseller, drop off your tool, wait a month or so and then go pick up a brand new one free.

Honestly, this works a treat.

Facom is guaranteed for life, no receipt needed.

Your Facom tool is a bit knackered, chuck it to your local resellers, comes back new.

I've bought second hand stuff, beaten the hell out of it, with a lump hammer, and had it replaced, with new.

Let me find an example...

Here's my Facom adjustables, none I've bought new, the 2nd and 4th were replaced no quibble, as I use them to tighten propellors, on boats, and yeah I use a lump hammer, and eventually they can slip.

Never had any issues with the Facom guarantee.

Picked up the new Facom porn catalogue today, the 7 drawer filler, is nearly 5k€, that's not including the cabinet.

Until you can get replacement jaws, consider using a disc cutter to sharpen up or cut in some new teeth ?
