Anyone know who is he "Official" tool supplier for the Ferrari team? The factory? What tools to Ferrari shop guys use?

Facom.

I thought that but I keep hearing Beta and Toptul are suppliers.Does Facom produce those brands?

Do they use factory tools or their own?

Indeed, I'm pretty sure it say Beta on their trucks

lol, or maybe not according to Beta's 2007 partnerships

To answer the original question it would seem Ferrari do not have an 'official' tool supplier currently.

I would say the guys probably uses a combination of Facom & Beta tools, lol

Interesting. I'e looked at both and I must say the Beta sure are nice looking tools. I haven't touched anyof them but they sure look nice. I have a few Facom sockets in my tool box (picked up at a pawn shop of all places). They are no nicer quality than SO.

Huh? You mean they don't use the same POS Craftsman tools I get from Sears??

I have thought it was Facom however Beta might be if thats on the side of their trucks, however Ferrari does manufacture a lot of their own tools, at least they used to. My father is a Ferrari Collector and in the tool kit for his 71 365 GTC4 the tools are stamped FERRARI and say made in ITALY. I will have to run by his house and see if that is true on the newer cars. The only reason I know for sure on the 71 is that I have had to use those before.

Oh Jeez, now I've gotta go out in my 11 degrees F garage and find my old lead-head wheel nuts knock-off Ferrari hammer. Facom?? Have'ta check. Old for sure and genuine...:eyecrazy

The tools with my 328GTB were stamped FERRARI also. 1t was a 1988 model. The PO also had a few Beta screwdrivers and 2 Beta wrenches in the pouch. I saw nothing that was stamped Facom.

I'm just wondering what the race team uses. It ould not suprize me if they were in house tools.

Ohhhh.

I was thinking of a different kind of tool. I get confused when I see "MS" and Ferrari tool" used in the same sentence. :devillook

I'm pretty sure it would be similar to us.

The only in house tools made will be for specific fittings, fasteners and jobs on their cars. (There would be quite a few of these)

Most the general fixings would use off the shelf tools. (snap-on, facom etc.)

I'm pretty sure they all use Harbor Freight tools.

:lol HF!!!!!

Don't worry JP, I got it. :)

Oh, I got it, I just decided not o be the first to say anything about JP's poor taste.

Yeah I got it too and thought it was funny but I was a MS fan for some time, however it is funny!

I'm sure JP just gets wood every time he sees 'MS' and has a chance to make fun of him, even though it might stand for motorsports or multiple sclerosis.

Wow. It was a joke. I didn't mean for anyone to get their red panties in a bunch.

Dealerships guys use same tools as BMW, Porsche, and even Ford. Mostly Snapon with Mac and Matco thrown in. Last time was at a race with a factory sponsored team, I saw everything from Facom, to Hazet.

:rofl :rofl

Man that was funny, maybe the nutdanglers here need to get a life beyond Schufacher ... a sense of humor wouldn't hurt either :rofl

No reason for your feelings to be hurt, who the hell is serious on the internet (esp. in this section)?

Just an update the tools in the tool kits in the newer Ferrari's are stamped FERRARI CHROME VANADIUM", this is out of a 360 and a 430, went over to check at my father house so I dont know if they use the same as the race team. I called up our dealership as I was interested and they use Snap-On, though when I asked why they said they had the best availability of tools to better service all models and years of Ferrari, however they have many special tools made by Ferrari.

My feelings aren't hurt at all. I'm just apologizing to all the Schu fans for ruffling their feathers.

I had no idea the Tifosi were still so sensitive. :rolleyes
