The Facom J.17T 12 Point Standard Socket is designed for professional mechanics and industrial technicians who require high-torque reliability and precision in their fastening tasks. Featuring a 3/8-inch drive and a 17mm opening, it provides an excellent balance of strength and accessibility, though its specialized 12-point design requires careful alignment compared to 6-point alternatives when dealing with heavily rounded bolt heads.

No, this is a standard-duty socket and is not rated for use with impact drivers or impact wrenches.
The 12-point design allows the socket to be placed on a bolt at twice as many angles as a 6-point socket, making it easier to use in tight spaces.
Facom tools are known for their professional quality; please check with your local retailer or the official Facom website regarding their specific industrial warranty policy for the J.17T.
The 17mm refers to the internal opening size designed to fit 17mm fasteners.
Simply wipe it down with a shop rag and a mild degreaser; the satin finish is designed to be easy to wipe clean.
Ensure the socket is pushed fully onto the bolt head and verify that the fastener is exactly 17mm and not stripped.
Ensure you are pulling the ratchet straight away from the bolt head without applying lateral pressure.
To ensure the longevity of your Facom J.17T, always match the socket drive size (3/8-inch) to your ratchet. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying force to prevent the tool from slipping. After use in greasy or dirty conditions, wipe the socket clean with a lint-free cloth. While the satin finish is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to store the tool in a dry tool chest or drawer. Avoid using this socket with impact guns, as excessive vibration and sudden torque peaks can damage the steel structure.
