Carlyle 1/2in Drive 21mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1221M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1221M

The Carlyle CISST1221M is a 21mm stubby impact socket with a 1/2in drive. 21mm is the wheel nut size on many vans, and this short six-point socket keeps a gun close to the wheel where a longer one would stick out. Made from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, finished in black phosphate to resist rust.

Good to know

• Is it right for my van's wheel nuts? Check the size first: try the socket on a nut, and it should sit fully home with no play. Then check the nut isn't recessed deeper than the short body can reach.
• How tight should van wheel nuts be? Tighten them finally with a torque wrench to the figure the van's maker gives, and check them again after the first few miles, as the handbook usually advises.
• Can I use it by hand as well? Yes, it fits any 1/2in ratchet or breaker bar. An impact socket works fine by hand; the reverse, chrome sockets on a gun, is the risky way round.

Which one?

For nuts on longer studs the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 21mm 6 Point Deep Impact Socket (CISD12021M) reaches further; for breaking tight nuts by hand pair this with the Carlyle 1/ 2 Drive Breaker Bar 450mm Long Size 460mm (CFH1218).
