Product Information
Full details
The Facom 24mm long impact socket (NKD.24L) is designed for professional mechanics and heavy-duty industrial operators who require reliable torque transmission in demanding environments. Its primary benefit is the 85mm length, which provides essential reach for accessing recessed bolts, though users should note that the 12-point configuration requires precise alignment on the fastener to prevent slipping under extreme force.

FAQs
Can I use this with a standard hand ratchet?
Yes, but you will need a 3/4-inch drive adapter if your ratchet is a smaller size.
Is this socket meant for air impact guns?
Yes, this socket is specifically engineered for high-torque impact tools.
What is the primary benefit of the 12-point design?
The 12-point design allows you to engage the fastener at more angles, making it easier to fit the socket onto the bolt in tight spaces.
Will the manganese phosphate finish rust?
While highly resistant to wear and corrosion, it is not rust-proof; keep the tool dry and lightly oiled for maximum lifespan.
What does the 85mm length refer to?
It refers to the total length of the socket, identifying it as a 'deep' socket designed for extended reach.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips on the fastener
Ensure the 12-point socket is pushed fully onto the bolt head; if the bolt head is damaged, use a 6-point socket instead.
Socket is stuck on the tool anvil
Check the friction ring or detent pin on your impact wrench; if the socket is jammed, tap the side of the socket gently with a rubber mallet while pulling.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for reaching recessed bolts in heavy machinery
- Manganese phosphate coating offers superior wear resistance
- Bi-hexagon 12-point design allows for faster socket placement
- Industrial-grade construction compatible with high-torque impact guns
Cons
- 12-point design can risk rounding fasteners if not fully seated
- Large 3/4-inch drive size is not suitable for standard 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch tools
- Deep profile may be unnecessary for general-purpose, shallow-access tasks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your impact driver features a 3/4-inch anvil. Before use, ensure the socket is free from heavy debris or metal shavings to prevent damage to the drive interface. Always secure the socket to the tool anvil using a locking pin or ring if your impact gun supports it to prevent accidental detachment during high-speed operation. To maintain the manganese phosphate finish, avoid using harsh acidic cleaners; simply wipe down with a light machine oil after use to prevent oxidation.
