The Facom 17mm Impact Socket is designed for professional mechanics and industrial technicians who require reliable, heavy-duty fastening solutions in demanding environments. Its standout feature is the 12-point bi-hexagon geometry that allows for easier positioning on fasteners, though users should note that the 3/4-inch drive necessitates high-torque impact tools that may be bulkier than standard 1/2-inch drive equipment.

While it will physically fit a 3/4-inch drive ratchet, it is optimized for impact tools. It is generally better to use impact-rated sockets only with impact drivers.
The 12-point design provides more positions to engage the fastener, which is highly beneficial when working in cramped spaces with limited tool swing.
It features a manganese phosphate finish which provides high resistance to corrosion, but it is not completely rust-proof. Keep it dry and clean for best results.
The extra length allows the socket to reach nuts on long threaded studs or deep-seated hardware that standard-depth sockets cannot clear.
Facom provides professional-grade warranties on their tools; please consult the documentation included with your purchase for specific terms and conditions.
Verify that your impact wrench is a 3/4-inch drive; check the anvil for debris or rust that may be preventing a full connection.
Ensure the fastener head is not worn or rounded; verify that the socket is pushed fully onto the bolt head before engaging the tool.
Immediately stop use. Heavy-duty impact sockets that show structural fatigue should be replaced to prevent safety hazards during high-torque applications.
To use this socket, simply snap the 3/4-inch drive opening onto your impact wrench's anvil until the locking pin or ball clicks into place. It is fully compatible with any standard industrial 3/4-inch drive pneumatic or cordless impact driver. To maintain the socket, clean it with a rag to remove grit or oil buildup after use. While the manganese phosphate finish is rust-resistant, keeping the tool dry in a climate-controlled toolbox or using a light coat of machine oil during long-term storage will further extend its service life. Never use an impact socket on a standard chrome-plated ratchet, as the hardened steel of the impact tool can damage the delicate mechanisms of a manual hand tool.
