Product Information

Full details

The Facom RL.NANO1GRPPB 38-Piece Metric Bit Socket Set is designed for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who require precision and durability in tight spaces. Its key benefit lies in the specialized OGV GRIP technology, which maximizes fastener contact and prevents rounding, though users should note that the compact 1/4-inch drive is specifically calibrated for light-to-medium duty tasks rather than heavy-duty industrial torquing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these sockets with an impact driver?

No, these tools are designed for manual hand-tool application and are not rated for the high-impact forces generated by power tools.

What is the size range of the included sockets?

The set includes metric sockets ranging from 5.5mm up to 14mm.

What is OGV GRIP technology?

OGV GRIP is a proprietary design that optimizes contact area on the sides of the fastener, providing higher torque transmission while protecting the bolt from damage.

Is this set suitable for heavy-duty industrial work?

This set is built for precision mechanical work. While durable, its 1/4-inch drive is intended for light-to-medium tasks rather than large-scale structural assembly.

How should I clean the tools?

Use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth with a light lubricant. Avoid harsh solvents that could strip the protective finish.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism feels stiff or hesitant

Clean the ratchet head with a degreaser and apply a light machine oil to the internal pawl mechanism.

Sockets slipping on fasteners

Verify that you are using the correct metric size and that the fastener head is not excessively rounded or damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • OGV GRIP technology prevents fastener rounding
  • Compact 1/4-inch drive is perfect for tight workspaces
  • High-quality construction suitable for professional use
  • Well-organized storage case included

Cons

  • Limited to 1/4-inch drive applications
  • Not intended for heavy-duty impact wrench use
  • Metric sizes only may not suit all imperial hardware needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Facom RL.NANO1GRPPB, ensure you match the 1/4-inch drive size with compatible manual tools; do not use these bits with high-powered impact drivers, as the torque levels can exceed the design limits of the sockets. Compatibility is limited to metric-sized fasteners; attempting to force these onto imperial nuts will result in poor fitment and potential slippage. For maintenance, wipe the tools with a clean, light oil-dampened cloth after every use to prevent surface rust, and ensure they are clicked firmly back into their respective slots in the carry case to prevent loss.
