Carlyle 1/2 Drive 17mm 12 Point Impact Socket (CIS12117M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CIS12117M

The Carlyle CIS12117M is a 17mm 12 point impact socket for 1/2in drive, chrome molybdenum steel, made for impact guns and air tools. 17mm is one of the commonest car wheel nut and bolt sizes, and the 12 point opening slips onto the head at more angles, handy when a cordless gun has to meet a bolt in a cramped spot.

Good to know

• 6 point or 12 point for wheel bolts? A 6 point grips the flats and is the safer choice on tight or worn bolts; the 12 point is quicker to locate when access is awkward. On a seized wheel bolt, use the 6 point.
• Can I tighten wheel bolts with the gun? Only to snug them. Wheel nuts and bolts should be finished with a torque wrench to the vehicle's figure, not left as tight as the gun makes them.
• Will it mark alloy wheels? An impact socket's thick walls can catch the edge of a narrow bolt hole, so check it clears before you pull the trigger.

Which one?

For the same size with the firmer six-point grip, the 17mm impact CIS1217M; for alloy wheels, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 19mm Alloy Wheel Sockets (CWS1219M) is a protected wheel socket in 19mm.
