The Expert By Facom 9mm 3/8-inch drive 12-point socket is designed for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require high-precision tools for fastening tasks. Its primary benefit is the specialized Maxi Drive profile, which protects fasteners from rounding by applying torque to the sides of the nut rather than the corners. Note that this tool is strictly engineered for manual use and should not be used with power tools or impact wrenches.

No, this socket is specifically designed for manual use only. Using it with impact tools can cause premature failure of the tool or damage the fastener.
The 12-point design provides twice the engagement positions of a 6-point socket, making it easier to fit onto bolts in confined areas.
Yes, it complies with ISO 2725-1, DIN 3124, ISO 1174-1, ISO 691, and ISO 1711-1.
It is manufactured from chrome vanadium steel for high strength and durability.
This is a 3/8-inch drive socket.
Verify that the fastener is indeed 9mm and not a SAE size or a damaged metric size. Ensure no debris is lodged inside the socket head.
Ensure the socket is pushed fully onto the fastener. If it becomes stuck, gently wiggle the ratchet handle while pulling to release.
To ensure the longevity of your Expert By Facom socket, always ensure your 3/8-inch drive ratchet is clean before attaching the socket. The tool is compatible with all standard 3/8-inch square drive handles. For care, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove oil, grease, and debris. If exposed to corrosive substances or moisture, apply a light coat of machine oil before storage. Store in a cool, dry place within a toolbox or tool organizer to prevent surface scratches.
