Product Information

Full details

The Facom SV.B 1/2" Drive XZN Spline Bit Socket is a high-performance tool engineered for automotive and industrial professionals who require precise handling of XZN female drive fasteners. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust, non-removable bit design and a phosphate-hardened tip, ensuring longevity under high-torque applications. The main caveat for users is that it is specifically sized for M12 fasteners, meaning it is not a universal tool and requires a dedicated 1/2" square drive handle or ratchet.

FAQs

Is this socket compatible with impact wrenches?

No, this socket is designed for manual hand-tool applications and may fail if used with power impact tools.

What is an XZN fastener?

XZN, also known as triple-square or 12-point spline, is a fastener type commonly used in European automotive engineering.

Can I replace the bit if it breaks?

No, the Facom SV.B features a non-removable bit design for increased durability and stability.

Does this tool come in other sizes?

Yes, Facom produces a range of XZN bit sockets, including M10 and M14 variants.

How do I maintain the phosphate tip?

Keep the tip clean of debris and store it away from moisture to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit into the fastener

Ensure the fastener is an XZN M12 size and free from dirt or paint buildup.

Bit slips while turning

Check that the bit is fully seated into the fastener and that the tool is being held at a 90-degree angle to the bolt head.

Visible surface rust

Use a light machine oil and a soft brush to clean the surface, then wipe dry to restore the chrome finish protection.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Facom SV.B, verify that the fastener is clean and free of debris before inserting the bit.

Compatibility:

  • This socket is designed for manual operation. Do not use this tool with high-torque impact guns, as it may damage the bit tip or the fastener.
  • Use only with 1/2" square drive ratchets or torque wrenches calibrated for the required specifications of your specific project.

Care Instructions:

  • After use, wipe the socket with a clean cloth to remove oils, grease, and metal shavings.
  • Store in a dry environment or a modular tool storage system to prevent oxidation.
  • Inspect the phosphate-hardened tip periodically for signs of metal fatigue or rounding.
