The Facom 11/32 inch 6-point socket is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require high-precision fastening and reliable torque application in tight engine bays. Its primary benefit is the 6-point hexagon profile, which minimizes rounding of fastener corners, though users should note that as a standard-depth socket, it may be limited when working with extremely long threaded studs or deep-seated bolts.

No, this is a standard chrome socket. Using it with impact tools can lead to premature wear or cracking of the steel.
The 6-point design provides more contact area on the flats of the fastener, significantly reducing the chance of stripping the bolt head.
No, this socket is specifically sized for 11/32 inch imperial fasteners.
Keep the socket clean and dry. Wipe away grease and moisture after every use and store it in a tool box with controlled humidity.
Only if you use a 3/8" female to 1/4" male drive adapter.
Ensure the fastener head is free of excessive debris and that the socket is fully seated flush against the base of the nut or bolt.
Lightly tap the back of the socket with a rubber mallet to break the tension or use a light penetrating oil to loosen any corrosion.
Check the drive square of the ratchet for burrs or debris and ensure the detent ball is not stuck.
To use this socket, simply click it into any standard 1/4-inch drive ratchet or extension bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent cam-out. For maintenance, simply wipe the tool down with a shop rag saturated in a degreaser after use to remove oil. While the chrome finish is durable, avoid using it with impact wrenches, as high-vibration impact tools can damage the socket's internal profile and the chrome plating over time. Store the socket in a dry, organized rail or tray to prevent surface scratches.
