FAQs
Is this socket compatible with impact wrenches?
No, this socket is designed specifically for manual hand-tool applications only.
What material is this socket made from?
It is constructed from high-quality chrome vanadium steel for maximum durability.
Does the 6-point design provide better grip than 12-point?
Yes, the 6-point design provides more surface area contact with the fastener, which significantly reduces the chance of rounding off the corners.
How do I maintain the matte chrome finish?
Regularly wipe the socket with a clean cloth to remove oil, grease, and dirt after each use.
What is the total length of the socket?
The socket measures 54 mm in total length.
Can I use this on a 1/2-inch drive ratchet?
No, you would require a 3/4-inch drive ratchet or a specific adapter, though using adapters is generally discouraged for heavy-torque applications.
Troubleshooting
Socket fits loosely on the ratchet
Ensure the ratchet drive square is 3/4-inch and free of debris that might block full insertion.
Surface rust appearing on the socket
Clean the area with a fine-bristle brush and apply a light coat of machine oil or rust inhibitor.
Difficult to remove from the bolt head
Ensure the fastener is not cross-threaded or damaged; if the fastener is deformed, use a penetrating oil to loosen it before backing the socket off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Expert By Facom socket, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Compatibility: This tool is strictly for manual use. Avoid using it with pneumatic or electric impact guns, as the internal structure of impact tools can cause the chrome vanadium to crack under high-impact vibration.
- Setup: Secure the socket firmly onto your 3/4-inch drive ratchet or bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent slips.
- Care: Clean the socket with a dry cloth after use. If it encounters harsh chemicals, wipe it down with a light degreaser to maintain the matte finish. Store in a dry, moisture-controlled toolbox to prevent long-term oxidation.
