The Facom R.13/32E 1/4" square drive socket is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require high-precision tools for fastening applications. The core benefit of this socket is its specialized 12-point OGV profile, which optimizes surface contact to deliver superior torque while preventing fastener rounding. While this socket offers industry-leading durability, users should note that as a specific 13/32" AF size, it is a specialized tool that may not be used as frequently as standard metric or common imperial sizes in a general-purpose kit.

AF stands for Across Flats, which represents the measurement between two parallel sides of the hexagonal fastener.
No, this socket is designed for manual use with standard hand-operated ratchets.
The 12-point design allows for easier engagement at more angles, while the OGV profile helps mitigate the rounding risks typically associated with 12-point sockets.
Facom uses professional-grade alloy steel treated for maximum hardness and long-term durability.
Clean it after use, avoid over-torquing, and store it away from moist conditions to prevent corrosion.
Ensure the fastener is free of heavy debris and that the socket is pressed fully onto the bolt head.
Check the ratchet's quick-release button; if the ball detent is stuck, apply a small amount of penetrating oil.
This socket is compatible with any standard 1/4" square drive ratchet or extension bar. When using this tool, ensure the drive head is fully seated onto the square drive of the socket to prevent premature wear. To maintain the socket's integrity, avoid using it with power impact tools, as it is designed for manual hand-tool application. After use, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth to remove oil and grime. If working in particularly humid environments, apply a light coat of machine oil to the exterior to prevent surface oxidation. Store in a dedicated tool tray or organizer to keep the profile edges free from impact damage.
