FACOM 1/2 inch Socket 6-Points 28 mm, S.28H

FACOM 1/2 inch Socket 6-Points 28 mm, S.28H Sockets, a fundamental component of toolkits, are versatile attachments used in conjunction with socket wrenches to tighten or loosen a wide array of fasteners like bolts, nuts, and other fittings. These cylindrical tools feature a hollow, cylindrical interior with a specific size and shape that corresponds to various fastener types and sizes. Available in an extensive range of sizes, sockets come in both metric and imperial measurements, ensuring compatibility with diverse fastener dimensions. They're often constructed with a hexagonal or multi-point interior that matches the configuration of the fastener, allowing for a secure fit and maximum contact area, minimizing the risk of slippage and damage to the fastener. Sockets are manufactured from durable materials like chrome vanadium steel or other hardened alloys, offering high resistance to torque and wear. Some sockets feature coatings or treatments to enhance corrosion resistance and longevity, particularly beneficial in demanding work environments or when exposed to harsh conditions. The exterior of a socket typically incorporates a square drive fitting, enabling it to connect seamlessly to the corresponding drive end of a socket wrench. This standardized fitting allows sockets to be easily interchanged on a wrench, providing versatility and adaptability for various tasks. Deep sockets, characterized by their increased depth, allow for better access to recessed or protruding fasteners, while impact sockets, designed to withstand higher torque levels, are specifically suited for use with impact wrenches. Sockets are essential in automotive repair, machinery maintenance, construction, and various mechanical tasks due to their precision fit, durability, and ability to handle a wide range of fasteners. Their versatility and compatibility with different wrenches and accessories make them indispensable components in toolkits across industries, enabling efficient and accurate fastening and loosening of nuts and bolts in diverse applications.
