Facom R.EL 1/4" Drive Deep Bi Hexagon Socket Metric

The Facom R.EL 5.5mm 1/4" drive deep socket provides professional access to 5.5mm metric fasteners in recessed or deep-set positions. This specialist intermediate size fills the gap between 5mm and 6mm sockets, proving essential for specific applications in precision engineering, specialist equipment, imported machinery, and certain automotive assemblies where this uncommon but important fastener size is encountered. Equipped with Facom's patented OGV® profile technology, this socket provides enhanced torque application and superior grip compared to standard designs. The advanced profile distributes force optimally around the fastener head, significantly reducing the risk of rounding corners or causing damage during operation, which is particularly important when working with this less common fastener size where replacement parts may be more difficult to source. The bright chrome finish ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance whilst maintaining a professional appearance even after extensive use in demanding workshop conditions. The long-reach design enables access to fasteners located in deep recesses, narrow spaces, or on extended threaded components where conventional sockets cannot reach, making it an invaluable specialist tool for professionals requiring comprehensive metric coverage including less common intermediate sizes. Features and Benefits: • OGV® profile technology for enhanced tightening power and fastener protection • Long-reach design for accessing deep recesses and long threaded components • Bright chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and easy maintenance • 12-point bi-hexagon design for improved engagement angles • Complies with international quality standards including ISO, DIN, and ASME Specifications Drive: 1/4" Size: 5.5mm
