Facom 3/8" Drive 6-point Deep Socket - OGV profile for additional strength when tightening while preserving the fasteners. Bright chrome finish.
The FACOM J.16HLA is a professional-grade 3/8-inch square drive deep-reach metric 16 mm 6-point (hexagon) socket. In FACOM's tool coding logic, the prefix "J" designates the 3/8-inch drive line, "16" is the metric size in millimeters, "HL" denotes a long-reach (deep well) socket geometry, and the suffix "A" marks its inclusion in the modern optimized series profile. The interior walls feature FACOM's signature OGV® profile, which distributes high torque across the flat flank faces of a 16 mm bolt rather than grinding down its sharp corners. This long-reach format is engineered to clear highly exposed protruding threads, recessed spark plugs, or deep-set assembly hardware where normal shallow sockets bottom out.
