Description

The Facom R.EL 8mm 1/4" drive deep socket is engineered for professional applications requiring access to 8mm metric fasteners in recessed or deep-set positions. This popular size is frequently found in automotive applications, motorcycle maintenance, small machinery, and electronic equipment assemblies where the combination of compact drive size and extended reach proves essential. Featuring Facom's innovative OGV® profile technology, this socket provides superior torque transfer and enhanced grip compared to standard 12-point designs. The advanced profile geometry distributes force more effectively around the fastener, minimising the risk of rounding bolt heads or causing damage during tightening and loosening operations, which is particularly beneficial when working with fasteners in hard-to-reach locations where replacement would be difficult. The bright chrome finish delivers excellent corrosion resistance and maintains a professional appearance throughout the socket's service life. The long-reach design enables you to access fasteners located in deep recesses, narrow channels, or on extended threaded components where standard-length sockets cannot reach, making it an indispensable addition to any professional toolkit. Features and Benefits: • OGV® profile for powerful tightening whilst preserving fastener integrity • Long-reach design accesses deep recesses and long threaded applications • Bright chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning • 12-point bi-hexagon configuration for improved fastener engagement • Manufactured to international standards including ISO and DIN specifications Specifications Drive: 1/4" Size: 8mm
