Socket Set Facom long 1/2" for alloy wheels, 3 pcs (Facom E194676)

Facom long socket set with a 1/2" drive, designed specifically for use on alloy (aluminium) wheels. This three-piece set contains long sockets that provide extra reach and clearance to access recessed wheel bolts and nuts on modern alloy rims. The sockets are intended for both professional workshops and home use, facilitating removal and fitting of wheel fasteners where standard sockets may be obstructed by wheel design.

Advantages

The sockets offer extended length to reach deeply recessed fasteners without requiring wheel removal, reducing time and effort when changing or servicing alloy wheels. Manufactured by a specialist tool brand, they are produced to deliver secure fit on wheel bolts and reliable torque transmission with a 1/2" drive. The three-socket selection covers common sizes used on many alloy wheels, improving versatility while minimizing the need for multiple separate tools.

• Removing and fitting bolts and nuts on aluminium/alloy vehicle wheels
• Professional tyre and wheel workshops

How to use

Select the socket that correctly fits the wheel bolt or nut, attach it to a compatible 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar, and position the socket over the fastener. Apply steady turning force to loosen or tighten the bolt while maintaining alignment to avoid rounding the fastener head. When working on vehicles, follow vehicle manufacturer torque specifications and use a calibrated torque wrench for final tightening where required.

Usage recommendations

Inspect sockets for wear or damage before each use and avoid using damaged sockets with high-impact tools. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and ensure the vehicle is securely supported when working on wheels. Store the sockets in a dry place to prevent corrosion and keep the set together to ensure quick selection of the correct size.
