In addition, as part of the special promotion, RS will be holding a competition on its engineering community site – DesignSpark – where it will be giving away some of these limited-edition Facom products.

“Customers know exactly what to expect from Facom tools,” said Rashdeep Kelf, Senior Product Marketing Manager at RS. “From the creation of the Facom 101 adjustable spanner in the early days of post-war France to its wide portfolio of industrial tools available today, Facom has built up a reputation for delivering unequalled levels of quality and reliability to engineering professionals.”
