Product Information

Full details

The Facom E10 Torx socket is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require high-precision tools for reliable torque transmission. This 1/4-inch drive socket ensures a secure grip on E10 external Torx fasteners to prevent stripping, though its specialized E10 size means it is limited to specific bolt applications and cannot be used for standard hex fasteners.

FAQs

Is this socket compatible with 3/8-inch drive ratchets?

No, this socket is exclusively designed for 1/4-inch drive tools.

Can I use this with an impact wrench?

This socket is designed for manual hand-tool applications; using it with high-torque impact tools may lead to premature wear or failure.

What does the E10 designation mean?

E10 refers to the size of the External Torx fastener, which is a star-shaped bolt head common in modern automotive assembly.

Does this socket come with a warranty?

Facom tools typically carry a professional warranty against manufacturing defects. Please consult your local distributor for specific regional terms.

Is the socket length sufficient for recessed bolts?

At 22mm, it is designed for standard access. If your fastener is deeply recessed, you may need to pair this with a 1/4-inch extension bar.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit onto the bolt

Verify the bolt is an E10 size and ensure the socket is free of debris or dirt inside the drive head.

Socket feels loose on the ratchet

Check the detent ball on your 1/4-inch ratchet to ensure it is fully engaging with the socket's retaining groove.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure grip reduces risk of rounding off bolt heads
  • High-quality bright chrome finish resists rust
  • Compact 22mm length fits in narrow engine bays
  • Consistent, reliable performance under load

Cons

  • Limited to E10 Torx fasteners only
  • Does not include a storage rail or clip
  • Requires a 1/4-inch drive tool, not compatible with larger drive sizes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this socket, simply attach it to any standard 1/4-inch square drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure that the socket is pushed fully onto the E10 fastener head to ensure maximum engagement before applying force. Regarding care, the bright chrome finish is easy to maintain; wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grease and oil. While the chrome is corrosion-resistant, it is best to store the tool in a dry toolbox drawer to maintain its finish and prevent the formation of surface oxidation over long periods.
