Carlyle 1/2 Drive 16mm 6 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD12016M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD12016M

This Carlyle CSD12016M is a 16mm deep chrome socket for 1/2in drive, six-point, with radius corners, a mirror-polished chrome finish and a knurled base. It reaches 16mm nuts on long studs and through-bolts that a standard socket can't cover, and it takes a breaker bar for the ones that have rusted in.

Good to know

• Can I use it on 16mm spark plugs? It's the wrong tool: plugs need a plug socket, whose rubber insert holds the plug as it comes out of the well. Use a dedicated 16mm plug socket instead.
• What's the right order for a seized nut? Soak with penetrating oil, give it time, then break it loose with a breaker bar before switching to the ratchet to run it off.
• Can it go on an impact wrench? No. Chrome sockets can crack or shatter under impact; use the black deep 16mm impact version on a gun.

Which one?

For spark plugs, the 16mm bi-hex plug socket CSSP12016M; for a gun, the deep 16mm impact CISD12016M. The Carlyle 1/2 Drive 750mm Long Breaker Bar (CBB12750M) gives plenty of leverage.
