Carlyle 1/2 Drive 10mm 6 point standard imp socket (CIS1210M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CIS1210M

Carlyle's CIS1210M is a short, standard-length 10mm impact socket for 1/2in drive guns, six-point, in chrome molybdenum steel finished in black phosphate. It suits quick removal of the many 10mm bolts on a car, such as undertray, bracket and cover fixings, when you're using an air or cordless impact wrench to save time.

Good to know

• Why 6 point on a small bolt? The six flats spread the load and are far less likely to round a 10mm head than a 12 point, which matters on old, corroded bolts that won't take a second try.
• Can I do the bolts back up with the gun? Not safely. A 1/2in gun has far more power than a 10mm bolt needs; run them in by hand and finish with a ratchet.
• Will it stay on the gun? Push it fully home on the square until it clicks over the detent ball or ring, and check it is seated before you pull the trigger.

Which one?

For a nut on a long stud, the deep 10mm impact CISD12010M reaches further; for a chrome hand-tool version, the CS12010M. The Carlyle 1/2 Drive 380mm Impact Extension (CIEXT1215) gets the gun to bolts deep in the car.
