Facom R.1/4ET 1/4 inch Drive 6-Point Hex Socket, 1/4 inch Opening, Chrome Vanadium Steel

When you need to tighten or loosen a 1/4-inch hex fastener, a standard socket often slips or rounds the head. The Facom R.1/4ET solves this with a precise 6-point profile that grips the full flat of the fastener, not just the corners. This 1/4-inch drive socket is made from chrome vanadium steel with a high-chrome polished finish, so it resists corrosion and wipes clean after use. The square drive end fits any standard 1/4-inch ratchet, extension, or breaker bar, making it a direct replacement for worn or missing sockets in your set.

Who is it for

This socket is for professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, and serious DIYers who work on small fasteners in automotive, electronics, or machinery repair. If you already own a 1/4-inch drive ratchet, this socket adds a common size to your tool kit without buying a full set.
