• Sykes-Pickavant has been manufacturing and distributing tools since 1921. The Sykes-Pickavant brand is well known worldwide as a guarantee of quality products, service and real value for money.
• Sykes-Pickavant is now a UK market leader in the supply of specialist automotive tools and diagnostic equipment and has been part of the international Facom Tools Group since 1994. The brand is marketed by Facom UK, along with its sister brands, Facom and Britool.
• Sykes-Pickavant’s ‘workshop solutions' are carefully designed to solve particular problems - often making a difficult job easy and quick. The very popular Flaremaster is a good example. Its revolutionary design was developed to allow technicians to create brake pipe flares in situ without sacrificing quality. The hydraulic ram makes the job fast and easy, whether replacing a damaged section after an accident repair or replacing a whole corroded system. Another Sykes-Pickavant design which saves time for technicians is the Professional Brake Bleeder. It uses a peristaltic pump to pressurise brake system to a carefully controlled 1.4bar ensuring all air is removed and making it suitable for ABS systems. One man can bleed a complete system in around 15 minutes.
• Sykes-Pickavant’s Diagnostic products bring a whole range of opportunity to the independent garage trade. The range includes engine management systems testers, pressure and vacuum testers, gas analysers and timing tools. With these instruments almost any vehicle on the road can be confidently serviced to the manufacturer’s specification in the shortest time. One of these products, the ACR Systems Tester, has made Sykes-Pickavant the number one code reader manufacturer in Europe.
• The comprehensive range of Sykes-Pickavant Body Repair tools has a dedicated worldwide following. There are special tools for every part of a car’s bodywork.
• A commitment to developing the tools that will be used by tomorrow's technicians, and investing in a continuous programme of applications research and development has kept Sykes-Pickavant at the forefront of automotive maintenance technology.
