Carlyle 1/2in Drive 11mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1211M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1211M

The Carlyle CISST1211M is an 11mm stubby impact socket with a six-point opening and 1/2in square drive, made of chrome molybdenum steel under a black phosphate coat. Its cut-down length lets an impact gun or ratchet reach 11mm fixings in tight pockets where a full-length socket would leave the tool hard up against the surrounding metal.

Good to know

• How is a stubby different from a standard impact socket? It's shorter, so it fits under less headroom, but it gives no extra reach. If a standard socket fits, either will do the job.
• Will it fit beside a bracket? Impact sockets have thicker walls than chrome ones, so a stubby saves height, not width. Check the space around the nut too.
• Can I use it with a hand ratchet? Yes; a stubby on a slim ratchet is handy for 11mm fixings in cramped corners.

Which one?

With more headroom, the standard 11mm impact CIS1211M; for awkward angles, the 12 point CIS12111M. The stubby run continues with the 12mm CISST1212M. A slim Carlyle Ratchet – Slim Teardrop – 1/2in Drive (R12TD) pairs well by hand.
