Product Information
Full details
The Facom NSD.24L is a professional-grade 24mm impact socket engineered for mechanics and technicians who require reliable performance in heavy-duty fastening tasks. Its primary benefit is the 82mm long-reach design, which allows for easy access to recessed bolts that standard sockets cannot reach, paired with a durable manganese phosphate finish for enhanced longevity. While this tool provides exceptional industrial-strength durability, users should note that it requires the specific use of safety pins and rings to ensure the socket remains securely attached to the impact wrench during high-torque operations.

FAQs
Can I use this with a manual ratchet?
While it will fit a 1/2-inch ratchet, it is specifically heat-treated for impact force; it is best suited for impact wrenches.
What is the total length of the socket?
The total length is 82mm.
Is the manganese phosphate finish permanent?
It is a durable industrial finish, but it can wear off over time with heavy friction; regular oiling helps maintain it.
Does this socket come with the pin and ring?
Please check your specific package contents, as these are often sold as safety accessories separate from the socket itself.
Why is it 12-point instead of 6-point?
The 12-point design allows for more indexing positions, making it easier to slip the socket onto the bolt head in confined spaces.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose on the impact wrench anvil
Verify that you are using the correct retaining ring and pin to secure the socket to the tool anvil.
Socket slipping on the bolt head
Ensure the fastener head is not stripped and that the socket is fully seated against the base of the bolt before applying torque.
Surface appearing dull or dry
The manganese phosphate finish is porous by design to hold oil; apply a thin layer of tool oil to maintain its corrosion resistance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable manganese phosphate coating resists wear in harsh environments
- Extra length provides critical clearance for deep-set fasteners
- 12-point design allows for quicker alignment on bolts
- High-quality steel construction tailored for impact force
Cons
- Requires separate purchase of safety pins and rings for secure operation
- The 12-point profile may not be suitable for extremely high-torque rounding-prone fasteners compared to 6-point alternatives
- Specific to 24mm metric fasteners only
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety and performance, always install the appropriate `retaining ring` and `locking pin` through the side holes of the socket before attaching it to the anvil of your impact wrench. This prevents the socket from detaching unexpectedly during operation. Regarding compatibility, this socket is exclusively designed for 24mm metric fasteners and 1/2-inch square drive tools. For care, wipe down the tool with a light machine oil after use to maintain the integrity of the manganese phosphate coating, and store it in a dry, organized toolbox to prevent oxidation.
