Carlyle 1/2in Drive 15mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1215M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1215M

Carlyle's CISST1215M is a 15mm stubby impact socket for 1/2in drive, six-point, chrome molybdenum steel with a black phosphate coat. The cut-down body lowers the height of gun and socket together, so you can get onto a 15mm bolt hemmed in by a crossmember, bracket or panel, where a standard socket simply won't fit underneath.

Good to know

• Is stubby the same as standard depth? No, it's shorter still. It's for low headroom only; on a nut with a long stud, it would sit on the thread and miss the flats.
• Can I hold the gun steady in a tight gap? Brace it with both hands and keep it square to the bolt; a stubby helps by letting the gun sit closer to the work.
• What about refitting? Start bolts by hand and finish with a torque wrench or ratchet, not the gun.

Which one?

With more headroom, the deep 15mm impact CISD12015M covers long studs; for awkward angles, the 12 point CIS12115M. Stubby neighbours are the 14mm CISST1214M and 16mm CISST1216M. For hand tools, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet 300mm Long (CR1290).
