Facom R.12GRP 1/4 inch Drive 12 mm 6-Point Metric Socket

Professional technicians rely on the Facom R.12GRP 1/4" drive socket for precise fastening in tight engine bays and compact assemblies. This 12 mm metric socket features a 6-point profile and Facom's OGV® technology, which applies force to the fastener's flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending bolt life. The high-chrome polished finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily, while the chrome vanadium steel construction provides long-term durability under daily workshop use. The shallow design reaches fasteners in confined spaces where deep sockets cannot fit, and the 1/4" square drive is compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and accessories.
