Product Information
Full details
The Facom JX.50 Torx bit socket is a professional-grade tool designed for mechanics and industrial technicians who require high-torque precision for T50 fasteners. It excels in demanding environments where secure fit and durability are non-negotiable, though it is specifically limited to 3/8-inch drive systems and T50 sized bolts, making it a specialized addition rather than an all-purpose replacement.

FAQs
Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?
No, this is a manual-drive socket. Using it with an impact tool may damage the socket or the fastener.
What is the bit length of the JX.50?
The bit length is 22.5mm.
Is the bit permanently attached?
No, the bit design is removable for versatility and maintenance.
Will this fit a 1/2-inch drive ratchet?
It will only fit a 1/2-inch drive ratchet if you use an appropriate 1/2-inch to 3/8-inch adapter.
What finish does the socket have?
The socket features a bright chrome finish for professional appearance and corrosion resistance.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose on the ratchet
Verify that the ratchet drive is clean and that the detent ball is not stuck or worn down.
Bit slipping on fastener head
Ensure the Torx head is completely free of dirt or paint build-up and that the bit is seated to the full depth of 22.5mm.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade phosphate-hardened tip reduces premature wear
- Bright chrome finish is easy to clean and resists rust
- Secure interface prevents slipping on stubborn fasteners
- Removable bit design extends the service life of the socket
Cons
- Limited to 3/8-inch drive systems
- Specific to T50 size only
- Requires proper drive tool for maximum torque application
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the JX.50, simply attach the socket to your standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet or torque wrench until the detent ball clicks into place. Ensure the fastener is clean of debris before seating the bit to guarantee full depth engagement. For maintenance, wipe the socket down with a clean shop rag after use to remove oil or grease. While the chrome finish is durable, avoid using impact wrenches, as they can cause premature degradation of the manual-drive socket interface. Store in a dry environment to maintain the finish and structural integrity of the bit.
