FACOM is made in France. No wonder they suck!

Yep, they are the sort of gimmick that some will fall for, those who simply must have something if its even remotely associated with F.

Snap-On are better quality. Sink the money into Snap On and if you really must, buy a couple of F stickers

And now, some reality. If you look at the "limited edition" serial number tag, it sure looks like it is merely slid down into a slot like a card. Not even riveted on like a quality Klein, Mac, Matco, Snap-On, tool box, etc. So the fancy serial number tag could be pulled out and lost within 5 minutes. Also, it looks like the top of the box and part of the drawers are made of molded plastic. Not exactly a quality tool box. As for the large Ferrari logos; I'll bet they are just stick-on. I saw a Harley Davidson "limited edition" tool box at Sears and the logos were just stick on. Pull them off in 5 minutes and it's just a tool box. And most importantly of all, I would NOT bet my money that those tools AREN'T made in Taiwan. It seems that these days, if a tool company does not SPECIFICALLY say where their tools are made, then they are probably made in Taiwan or even worse, China. Buyer beware.

I have had the opportunity to use FACOM tools. I have to say that I am not the biggest fan of them. I did not spend that much time with them, but I feel that Snap On tools are much better to work with. The FACOM tools which I used did not feel all that solid, and were a little bulky...especially the ratchet.

And for $2,950.00 you can do MUCH better with Snap On (which are expensive tools).

Griot's Garage in Tacoma Washington sells them too. Up close they are stunningly beautiful.

On my wish list for sure!!!!

My wife sold 2 of these to a guy in Scotland last year. He certainly seemed pleased with them. Must say I'm not much of a grease monkey myself but I thought they seemed pretty good quality. If I remember right there are tools in the top 4 drawers.
I think there are still some available in the UK. I know there is one in a shop in Sheffield, not sure what the price is though.

Limited Edition Ferrari Tool Set

In 2001, Facom was named the official tool supplier of Scuderia Ferrari. In commemoration, Facom will be releasing a limited edition 129pc master tool set, housed in an attractive 6 drawer portable workstation with Ferrari logos. Ferrari has restricted production to 1,400 sets worldwide, 15 to be given to the Ferrari factory and 1 set to their extraordinary driver, Michael Schumacher. The United States allocation is 200 sets.

The set sells for $2,950.00, pickup only!. There are only 2 remaining in stock. Since replacement toolboxes are not available, I cannot risk shipping damage.
