8 mm Metric Socket Pliers
The Facom FM-76.8 combines an 8 mm metric socket with a bent-nose plier head in a single alloy-steel tool. Two wrench heads provide both 6-point and 12-point engagement for standard fasteners. The L-shaped profile gives leverage in tight automotive or maintenance spaces. It is built for technicians who need a compact, dual-function hand tool.
Check fastener profile and access angle
Verify that the bolt or nut uses an 8 mm metric size and that a 6-point or 12-point drive matches the fastener condition. Confirm the L-shaped, bent-nose geometry clears surrounding components in your specific application. Ensure the 4 35/64 inch overall length and 4 1/2 inch width fit the available workspace. No other drive sizes or head styles are included with this model.
Sustained torque in confined areas
Alloy-steel construction resists rounding during prolonged tightening or loosening cycles. The bent-nose design maintains grip on recessed fasteners without slipping under continuous load. Dual 6-point and 12-point heads distribute force evenly across the fastener flats. The fixed L-shape delivers consistent leverage without the flex of adjustable alternatives.

Questions about this item
Does the Facom FM-76.8 include both 6-point and 12-point 8 mm sockets, or must I buy the other profile separately?
The pliers integrate an 8 mm socket head that offers both 6-point and 12-point profiles in a single L-shaped alloy-steel tool, so no separate socket purchase is needed.
Should I choose the 6-point or 12-point profile on this 8 mm bent-nose pliers for high-torque fasteners?
Use the 6-point profile when maximum torque is required on stubborn 8 mm metric fasteners; the 12-point profile allows finer angular engagement in tighter clearances.
What does the 4 35/64 inch overall length mean when I am working inside an engine bay?
At 4 35/64 inches the L-shaped alloy-steel body provides extended reach into confined compartments while keeping the double-profile 8 mm head compact for access.
