Product Information
Full details
The Facom J.405 16-piece metric socket set is designed for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who require reliable, long-reach fastening capabilities for 3/8-inch drive applications. Its key benefit lies in its extensive range of long sockets, which provide superior access to recessed bolts and threaded rods; however, users should note that the set focuses exclusively on deep sockets and does not include a ratchet or extension bars, requiring the user to supply their own drive tools.

FAQs
Does this set include a ratchet?
No, the J.405 set includes only the 16 deep sockets and the storage case.
Are these sockets suitable for impact guns?
While they are high-quality, these are chrome sockets meant for hand tools; using them with high-torque impact guns may void the warranty or damage the finish.
What sizes are included?
The set includes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 24mm.
What is the drive size?
These sockets are designed for a 3/8-inch drive.
How do I claim the lifetime warranty?
Facom warranties are generally handled through authorized dealers; keep your proof of purchase to initiate a claim.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose on a fastener
Verify you are using the correct metric size and ensure the socket is pushed fully onto the bolt head.
Socket won't seat on a nut
Check for debris or paint build-up inside the socket hex, or ensure the nut is not rounded from previous abuse.

- Lifetime warranty provides peace of mind for heavy-duty use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set is designed for any standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or impact driver (though manual hand-tool use is recommended to maximize the life of the chrome finish). To maintain the longevity of the tools, always wipe the sockets down with a clean rag after use to remove oil, grease, and metallic debris. Store the sockets in the provided tray within the protective case to prevent oxidation. The included pictogram sheet should be applied to the tray when new to ensure you can identify specific sizes at a glance. Avoid using these sockets with high-torque impact guns, as excessive force can cause premature wear on the chrome plating or deformation of the internal broaching.
