Facom 3/8" Drive 6pt Socket - "OGV" profile allows greater torque transfer without damage to the fastener. Chrome finish. Facom discontinued production of all 3/8" drive 6pt fractional sockets in 2014 (they are only available in 12pt). Made in France
The designation FACOM J.11/16H refers to a professional-grade 3/8-inch square drive fractional 11/16" standard 6-point (hexagon) rigid socket. In FACOM's part numbering logic, the prefix "J" represents the 3/8-inch square drive line, "11/16" is the fractional sizing, and the suffix "H" specifies a 6-point single-hexagon profile (whereas a standard J.11/16 without the "H" designates a 12-point bi-hexagon profile)
The socket features FACOM’s high-performance OGV (Orientation de la Géométrie en Vague) profile. This geometry moves the driving contact zone away from the sharp, fragile corners of the 11/16" bolt onto the flatter, stronger flank faces, delivering a massive increase in torque while safeguarding old or soft fasteners from rounding out.
