Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom 19mm Deep Hexagon Socket (E031105) is an essential tool for professional mechanics and home DIY enthusiasts who require reliable hardware for high-torque fastening tasks. Its primary benefit is the specialized OGV profile, which protects fastener integrity by applying force to the sides of the nut rather than the corners, though its deep-reach design may require extra clearance in confined engine bays.

FAQs
Can I use this socket with an impact wrench?
No, this socket is designed for manual use only. Using it with power impact tools may cause the socket to crack or shatter.
What is the OGV profile?
The OGV profile is a design that shifts the pressure from the sharp corners of the nut to the flat sides, providing a better grip and preventing rounding.
Is this socket compatible with standard 3/8" ratchets?
Yes, it is fully compatible with any standard 3/8" square drive handle or torque wrench.
What is the total length of this socket?
The socket measures 56mm in total length, making it ideal for deep-reach applications.
How do I prevent the socket from rusting?
Wipe the socket clean after every use and store it in a dry environment. The polished chrome finish is rust-resistant but still requires maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips on a worn fastener
Ensure the socket is pressed firmly onto the bolt head. If the fastener is severely damaged, use a penetrant spray and clean the fastener sides before re-applying the socket.
Socket becomes stuck on the drive
Check if the spring-loaded ball bearing on your ratchet is dirty or stuck. Depress the release button on the ratchet and apply a small amount of machine oil to the ball bearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify that your ratchet has a 3/8" square drive before attempting to attach the socket. The socket features a quick-engagement mechanism common to standard ratchets. For care, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove grease and debris. Store in a dry place or a tool organizer to prevent moisture accumulation on the chrome finish. Do not use this socket with power impact tools, as the high-impact force can damage the internal structure of the socket and invalidate the benefits of the OGV profile.
