Product Information

Full details

The Facom SXM.27 is a professional-grade 1/2-inch drive Torx bit socket engineered for mechanics and industrial technicians who require high torque reliability and precision. Featuring a T27 tip size and a 60 mm total length, it offers exceptional durability through its non-removable bit design and corrosion-resistant finish; however, users should ensure they are using the correct T27 size specifically, as these bits are size-specific and not interchangeable with other Torx formats.

FAQs

Can I use the SXM.27 with an impact wrench?

No, this socket is designed for manual torque application. Using it with an impact wrench may damage the bit or the fastener.

What is the length of the SXM.27?

The SXM.27 has an overall length of 60 mm.

Is the bit removable?

No, the Facom SXM.27 features a non-removable bit for increased structural integrity.

What material is the tip made of?

The tip is made of hardened steel treated with a phosphate finish to resist wear and corrosion.

Does this work with 3/8-inch drive tools?

No, this is a 1/2-inch drive socket. You would require an adapter to use it with 3/8-inch tools, though it is recommended to use the correctly sized drive for the torque load.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit fully into the fastener

Check the fastener for debris or thread-locker residue and clear it before re-inserting.

The bit feels loose in the fastener head

Verify that you are using a T27 size; verify the fastener is not a different Torx size such as T25 or T30.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability non-removable bit design
  • Excellent resistance to corrosion due to chrome and phosphate finishes
  • Professional-grade construction suitable for daily industrial use
  • Precise fitment reduces the risk of rounding out fasteners

Cons

  • Requires a 1/2-inch drive compatible tool
  • Limited to T27 specific applications
  • Not intended for impact wrench usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the SXM.27, simply attach it to any standard 1/2-inch square drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the fastener head is clean of debris or paint buildup before inserting the bit to guarantee a full seating depth. For care, wipe the socket with a clean cloth after each use to remove grease and oil. While the chrome finish is resistant to rust, storing the tool in a moisture-controlled toolbox or using a light coat of machine oil will extend the service life of the phosphate-treated tip. Do not use this tool with high-impact power tools, as the hardening process prioritizes surface hardness over the shock-absorption characteristics required for impact drivers.
