Socket 1/4" 9mm 12-point Facom F-52909

Facom 1/4" 9mm 12-point socket F-52909 is a compact hand tool intended for use with 1/4-inch drive ratchets and torque tools. Its 9 mm diameter and 12-point profile provide multiple engagement angles, facilitating alignment on fasteners in confined spaces and enabling repeated secure engagement on hex and 12-point bolts. The socket is designed for light automotive, maintenance and industrial applications where access is limited and controlled torque application is required.

Advantages

The 12-point geometry reduces the need to reposition the tool between turns, improving efficiency in tight work areas. Its 1/4" drive compatibility allows use with a wide range of small ratchets, extensions and torque adapters. The compact length and precision-machined internal profile deliver reliable contact with fastener heads while minimizing the risk of rounding. Constructed to meet common workshop durability expectations, the socket offers consistent fit and repeatable performance for routine fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and small repair jobs where access is limited
• Light industrial assembly and maintenance tasks
• Electronics enclosures and appliance servicing requiring small drive tools
• Home workshop projects and hobbyist mechanical work

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4 inch
• Socket size: 9 mm
• Point count: 12-point internal profile
• Intended use: manual ratchet and torque tool compatibility
• Form factor: compact/short socket for confined spaces

How to use

Select a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, extension or torque adapter and attach the socket securely to the drive square. Position the 12-point socket over the fastener head, ensuring full engagement before applying force. For torque-sensitive applications, use a calibrated 1/4" torque adapter or torque wrench and apply the specified torque value gradually. When working in tight areas, use short ratchet strokes or a breaker bar with controlled force to avoid rounding the fastener.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket for wear or damage before each use and replace if the internal profile shows rounding. Clean and lightly lubricate the drive connection periodically to prevent corrosion. Use the socket only with the appropriate sized fastener and within the torque limits of 1/4" drive tools to maintain safe operation and prolong service life.
