Carlyle 1/2 1Drive 10mm Hex Bit Socket 82mm Long (CSH1210M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSH1210M

Carlyle CSH1210M puts a 10mm hex (Allen) bit in a 1/2in drive socket, 82mm long overall. The bit is S2 steel and the socket body chrome plated with a mirror polish, so it turns tight socket-head bolts that need more leverage than an L-shaped hex key can give.

Good to know

• How do I avoid rounding the bolt? Clean rust and dirt out of the head, then push the bit fully home before turning; a bit that is only part way in, or one size too small, can round the head.
• Is metric 10mm the right one? Hex bits are sized across the flats, and a metric bit in an imperial (AF) head can slip and round it, so check the bolt size in the workshop manual or try the bit for a snug fit with no rock.
• Can I use it on an impact gun? No, it is a chrome hand-tool socket; chrome ones can crack or shatter on an impact gun, so use a black impact hex socket for air or cordless guns.

Which one?

For an impact gun, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 10mm Hex 60mm Long Impact Socket (CISH1210M); for a run of impact hex sizes, the Carlyle 8 Piece 1/2DR Hex Impact Socket 6 – 19MM (CISS128HM).
