Product Information

Full details

The Facom R.14LAT 1/4in drive deep socket is an essential tool for professional mechanics and technicians who frequently work with recessed fasteners in cramped automotive or industrial spaces. Its primary benefit is the specialized OGV profile, which protects fasteners by applying torque to the sides rather than the corners, though its deep-reach design may require extra clearance behind the bolt to function correctly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this socket compatible with impact drivers?

No, this is a hand-tool socket. Using it with impact drivers may lead to premature wear or failure.

What is the benefit of the 6-point design?

The 6-point design provides more contact area on the sides of the fastener, significantly reducing the chance of rounding off the corners.

Can I use this on 12-point fasteners?

This socket is specifically designed for 6-point hex fasteners and may not provide a secure fit on 12-point heads.

Does this require a special adapter?

No, it is a standard 1/4in drive socket compatible with any standard 1/4in drive tool.

How do I maintain the satin finish?

Wipe with a clean rag after use. You can use a light coat of anti-corrosion oil if storing in humid environments.

Why is it called a 'deep' socket?

It features an extended shaft, allowing you to reach fasteners threaded onto long rods or bolts that are recessed deep within a machine.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit onto the bolt head

Ensure the bolt is exactly 14mm and clear of heavy paint buildup or rust debris.

Socket feels loose on the ratchet drive

Check the detent ball on your ratchet; the socket relies on a clean, functional detent for a secure connection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects fastener corners from stripping via OGV profile
  • Deep design clears long threaded studs
  • High-quality steel offers professional-grade longevity
  • Satin finish resists grime and corrosion

Cons

  • Specific to 14mm fasteners only
  • Requires significant depth clearance
  • Higher price point compared to economy hobbyist sets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This socket is compatible with any standard 1/4in drive ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench. To ensure the longevity of your Facom tool, wipe the socket down with a clean, lint-free cloth after every use to remove debris or solvent. Store the socket in a dry toolbox drawer or a foam organizer to prevent moisture buildup and avoid contact with abrasive metals that might scratch the finish. While the tool is heat-treated for strength, avoid using it with power impact drivers, as this is a hand-tool accessory designed specifically for manual application.
