Product Information
Full details
The Facom 75.8 Angled Socket Wrench is a professional-grade tool engineered for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work in tight, restricted spaces. Its primary benefit is the 8mm angled design, which allows for effortless access to recessed bolts that standard straight wrenches cannot reach. While it provides exceptional leverage and a durable build, users should note that as a fixed-size tubular tool, it is limited strictly to 8mm fasteners and requires a separate bar or screwdriver handle for turning force.

Does this wrench come with a tommy bar?
No, the tommy bar is usually sold separately or used from an existing tool set.
Can I use this on 7mm or 9mm bolts?
No, it is precision-engineered for 8mm fasteners only. Using it on other sizes may damage the bolt head or the wrench.

Troubleshooting
Tool slips on the bolt head
Verify that the bolt is exactly 8mm and not damaged or rusted; ensure the wrench is pushed fully onto the fastener.
Cannot apply enough torque
Ensure you are using a sturdy, correctly-sized tommy bar that fits the cross-hole to maximize leverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grease, oil, and metal shavings.
