Product Information
Full details
The Facom J.10HLA 10mm deep hexagon socket is an essential tool for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require reliable fastener engagement in restricted environments. Its 3/8-inch drive and extended reach make it perfect for accessing recessed bolts, though users should ensure they have enough clearance in the work area to accommodate the 55mm total length.

FAQs
Is this socket compatible with impact wrenches?
No, this is a professional-grade hand tool socket. It is not designed to withstand the stress and vibration of impact drivers.
What is the total length of this socket?
The total length of the Facom J.10HLA socket is 55mm.
Does the 6-point design provide better grip than 12-point?
Yes, the 6-point design provides more surface area contact with the flat sides of the bolt, which helps prevent rounding off the fastener.
Can I use this on 3/8-inch drive extensions?
Yes, it is fully compatible with any standard 3/8-inch drive extension bar.
How should I clean the socket?
Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth. If it is covered in heavy grease, a mild degreaser can be used before wiping dry.
Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose on the ratchet
Check the ratchet's detent ball to ensure it is not stuck and is fully engaging the socket's internal groove.
Socket slips off the bolt head
Verify that the fastener head is clear of heavy debris or paint buildup and ensure you are using the correct 10mm sizing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-precision fit reduces fastener wear
- Durable chrome finish resists rust and chemical damage
- Extended length is ideal for confined spaces
- Professional-grade quality withstands heavy daily use
Cons
- May be too long for extremely tight quarters
- Requires a 3/8-inch drive tool exclusively
- Limited to 10mm hex fastener applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The J.10HLA is designed for a standard 3/8-inch drive square fitting. To use, simply align the socket with your compatible ratchet or torque wrench until the detent ball clicks into place. For maintenance, clean the tool with a dry, lint-free cloth after use. While the chrome finish is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to store the tool in a dry environment or a dedicated tool chest to prevent long-term environmental degradation. Avoid using this socket with high-impact tools, as it is designed for manual torque applications.
