Product Information

Full details

The Facom SXM.45 is a professional-grade T45 Torx bit socket designed for mechanics and technicians who require high torque capacity and precision in automotive or industrial fastening applications. It offers a secure, durable connection thanks to its integrated non-removable bit design and corrosion-resistant finish, though users should note that the 1/2-inch drive size is specifically intended for heavy-duty work and may be overkill for delicate electronic fasteners.

FAQs

Can I use this with an impact wrench?

No, this socket is designed for manual hand-tool applications. Using it with impact tools may cause the bit to shatter.

What is the total length of the socket?

The total length is 60mm.

Is the bit replaceable?

No, the Facom SXM.45 features a non-removable bit design for increased durability.

Does it come with a warranty?

Facom tools are generally covered by a professional warranty; please consult your point of purchase or Facom documentation for specific terms.

What is the finish on the bit?

The bit itself is phosphate-coated for improved grip and corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit onto the bolt head

Check the bolt head for debris or rust. Clean with a wire brush to ensure the T45 profile is clear.

Socket feels loose on the ratchet drive

Ensure you are using a 1/2-inch drive tool. If the issue persists, check the detent ball on your ratchet for wear.

Tip showing signs of wear

Verify you are using the correct T45 size and that you are keeping the tool perfectly aligned with the bolt axis during use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for daily professional use
  • Phosphate coating improves bit grip on bolt heads
  • Non-removable design prevents parts loss
  • Standard 1/2-inch square drive offers excellent versatility
  • Corrosion-resistant chrome finish

Cons

  • Not suitable for use with impact drivers
  • Limited reach compared to dedicated long-reach bits
  • Larger footprint may restrict use in extremely tight spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the SXM.45, simply attach the 1/2-inch square drive base to your compatible ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure that the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent rounding the bolt or the bit.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, dry rag after use. Use a degreaser if the tool is heavily coated in oil or grease.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment or a dedicated tool organizer. Avoid storing in damp areas to prevent oxidation.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the bit tip for signs of wear or cracking. If the teeth appear worn, discontinue use to avoid damaging fasteners.
