Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom 14mm 1/2 inch drive socket is a professional-grade fastening tool designed for mechanics and engineers who require high-torque reliability and fastener protection. Its key benefit is the proprietary OGV profile that applies pressure to the flat sides of fasteners instead of the corners, significantly reducing rounding or damage. While this socket is engineered for exceptional durability and precision under manual use, users should note it is intended for hand-tool applications rather than high-impact power tool use to ensure the longevity of the chrome finish and internal structure.

FAQs
Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?
No, this socket is designed for manual hand-tool use only. Impact tools can damage the socket's structural integrity.
What does the OGV profile do?
The OGV profile ensures that tightening torque is applied to the flat sides of the nut rather than the angles, reducing the risk of rounding.
Is this socket compatible with 3/8 drive tools?
No, this is a 1/2 inch drive socket and will require an adapter to fit onto a 3/8 drive tool, though this is not recommended for high-torque tasks.
Does this tool meet industry standards?
Yes, it is manufactured to meet rigorous ISO and DIN standards for professional-grade hand tools.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
A soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient. For stubborn grease, use a mild degreaser, then dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose on the fastener
Verify the fastener is exactly 14mm and not a different metric size or worn beyond standard specifications.
Socket is stuck on the ratchet
Ensure the detent ball on the ratchet is fully depressed and check for debris inside the socket square drive hole.
