Carlyle 1/2in Drive Chrome Universal Joint (CUNIV12)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CUNIV12

Carlyle's CUNIV12 is a 1/2in drive universal joint in polished chrome. It fits between a ratchet or extension and a socket so you can turn a nut that isn't in line with the handle, such as one behind a bracket or up inside a wheel arch. It is a hand tool part, not for impact wrenches.

Good to know

• How much angle can I use? As little as you can get away with. The steeper the joint is bent, the more it binds, flops over and loses force, so add an extension to straighten the line where possible.
• Can I put it on an impact gun? No. This is a chrome joint, and chrome accessories can crack or shatter under impact blows; an impact universal joint is the one to use on a gun.
• Any tips for using it? Hold the joint steady with your free hand as you start turning, so it doesn't fold over, and keep the socket fully pressed onto the nut.

Which one?

For an impact gun use the Carlyle 1/2 Drive Universal Joint Impact (CIUNIV12); the Carlyle 5 Piece Multi Drive Impact U J & Socket Adapters (CIUNIVS5) covers several drive sizes in impact form.
