Product Information

Full details

The Expert By Facom 1/2 inch 6 Point Long Reach Socket (13mm) is designed for automotive and mechanical professionals who require reliable access to recessed fasteners. Its primary benefit is the specialized OGV profile, which protects fastener corners by applying torque to the sides, though users should note this is strictly for manual use rather than impact applications.

FAQs

Can I use this with an impact wrench?

No, this socket is intended for manual use only. Using it with impact tools may damage the socket and void its efficacy.

What is the OGV profile?

The OGV profile is a specialized design that shifts pressure from the corners of a nut to its flat sides to prevent rounding.

Does this meet industry standards?

Yes, this product conforms to ISO 2725-1 and DIN 3124 standards.

What is the total length of the socket?

The total length of this long-reach socket is 79mm.

Is this socket compatible with 3/8 drive ratchets?

No, this is a 1/2-inch drive socket and requires a 1/2-inch drive ratchet, extension, or breaker bar.

Troubleshooting

Socket is slipping on the fastener

Ensure the fastener is clean of heavy debris and that the socket is fully seated on the head before applying force.

Difficulty removing socket from the fastener

Gently wiggle the socket side-to-side to break the seal of dirt or oil that may be causing a suction effect.

Pros and Cons

  • Protects fastener integrity via OGV profiling
  • Excellent reach for recessed bolts
  • Durable corrosion-resistant chrome finish

  • Intended for manual use only
  • Not suitable for use with impact wrenches
  • 13mm specific size may require a complete set for varied tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your socket, always use it with standard manual 1/2-inch drive hand tools. Do not use this socket with power tools or impact guns, as the internal geometry is not designed to withstand high-impact loads. After use, clean the socket with a dry cloth to remove any oil, grease, or debris. Store the tool in a dry environment or a dedicated tool organizer to maintain the chrome finish. Regularly check the socket drive square for signs of wear or damage to ensure a proper connection with your ratchet.
