Facom R.13GRP 1/4 inch Drive 6-Point 13mm Standard Socket

When working in tight engine bays or assembling precision equipment, a standard 13 mm socket that grips fasteners securely without rounding them is essential. The Facom R.13GRP delivers that reliability in a compact 1/4" drive format, ideal for low-torque applications where control matters more than brute force.

Who is it for

This socket is built for professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, and serious DIYers who need a dependable 13 mm socket for manual ratchets, extensions, and accessories. Its shallow profile and precise fit make it a go-to for accessible fasteners in automotive, motorcycle, and industrial settings.

Main features

• OGV® profile: the hexagonal opening is designed to apply force to the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life.
• High chrome polished finish: provides corrosion resistance and easy cleaning, keeping the socket looking professional even after heavy use.
• Chrome vanadium steel construction: offers the strength and durability expected from Facom hand tools.
• 6-point configuration: maximizes contact area for a secure grip on hex fasteners.
• Compact 25 mm length: allows access in confined spaces where deeper sockets won't fit.
