Product Information
Full details
The Facom 3/8 inch drive 19mm long socket is an essential tool for professional mechanics and industrial technicians who require precision, high torque capacity, and reliable fastener engagement. Engineered with a durable chrome finish and a 6-point profile, it excels in tight spaces where standard-length sockets may fall short, though users should note that its specialized long profile may not fit in extremely restricted engine bays with very low clearance.

FAQs
Is this socket compatible with impact wrenches?
This socket is designed for hand-tool use. Using it with high-torque impact tools may lead to premature wear or safety hazards.
What is the total length of this socket?
The socket features an overall length of 60mm.
Does the 6-point profile damage bolt heads?
No, the 6-point profile is specifically designed to minimize damage by distributing torque across the flat sides of the bolt rather than the corners.
What material is this socket made from?
It is constructed from high-strength steel with a durable chrome finish for professional use.
Can I use this on 3/4 inch fasteners?
While 19mm is approximately 0.748 inches, it is recommended to use the exact metric size to ensure the most secure fit and prevent slipping.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips on the fastener
Verify the fastener is exactly 19mm and not a different size; check for debris inside the socket head.
Socket won't seat fully on the bolt
Ensure the bolt is free of heavy corrosion or dirt buildup, or check if the bolt is bottoming out inside the socket's hollow center.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality material construction for durability
- 6-point design reduces the risk of rounding bolt heads
- Chrome finish resists rust and chemical damage
- Long-reach profile is ideal for recessed access
Cons
- Limited to 3/8 inch drive systems
- Length may be an obstacle in extremely tight engine compartments
- Requires professional-grade maintenance to prevent finish scratching
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, simply snap the socket onto any compatible 3/8-inch square drive ratchet or extension bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent damage. After use, wipe the socket with a clean shop rag to remove oil, grease, and metal shavings. Store in a dry environment or a modular tool storage foam tray to maintain the integrity of the chrome finish. Do not use this socket with high-powered impact guns, as it is primarily intended for hand-tool torque applications.
