The Facom R.3/8E is a high-performance, professional-grade 1/4" square drive socket designed for mechanics and technicians who require precision and durability in tight fastening applications. Featuring Facom's proprietary OGV profile and a 12-point design, this tool excels at delivering consistent torque without damaging fastener corners; however, users should note that as a standard socket, it lacks the deep-reach capabilities required for specific automotive engine components.

No, this socket is designed for manual hand-tool use and may fail if used with power impact drivers.
OGV is Facom's proprietary profile design that moves the contact point from the fastener corners to the faces, reducing wear.
The socket has an overall length of 22 mm.
Facom tools generally come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing and material defects under normal use conditions.
No, the R.3/8E is sized specifically for 3/8" AF (Across Flats) Imperial fasteners.
Verify that the fastener is indeed a 3/8" AF size and ensure no debris or rust is blocking the socket's internal cavity.
Ensure the socket is pushed completely flush against the bolt head. If the bolt is already damaged, consider using a 6-point socket instead.
This socket is compatible with any standard 1/4" square drive handle, breaker bar, or torque wrench. To ensure longevity, always seat the socket fully onto the fastener before applying force. After use in greasy or dirty environments, wipe the socket with a clean rag to remove debris. While the finish is corrosion-resistant, storing the socket in a dry tool chest or drawer will prevent oxidation over time. Do not use this 1/4" socket with high-torque impact guns, as it is designed for manual hand-tool application.
