Facom R.8GRP 1/4 inch Drive 8mm 6-Point Metric Socket

With a 25 mm overall length and a 12.5 mm outer diameter, the Facom R.8GRP socket is a compact yet robust tool for 8 mm hexagonal fasteners. Its OGV® profile applies force to the flat sides of the nut or bolt head, not the corners, reducing the risk of rounding while allowing higher torque transfer.
