Carlyle 1/2in Drive 22mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1222M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1222M

Carlyle CISST1222M: a 22mm six-point impact socket in 1/2in drive with a short stubby body, for impact wrenches in tight corners of the engine bay or underside. It is chrome molybdenum alloy steel with a black phosphate coat, and it will also turn on any 1/2in ratchet or breaker bar.

Good to know

• Can I use it to remove a lambda sensor? Not on its own. Lambda sensors usually have a 22mm hex, but the wire coming out of the top stops a plain socket like this passing over; use a slotted lambda socket or an open-ended spanner.
• Why is it short? A stubby socket keeps the gun or ratchet closer to the nut, which helps where a standard socket and tool together would be too long for the gap.
• How do I stop it slipping off the nut? Keep the tool square to the fastener and the socket fully seated; the chamfered drive end helps it go onto the square cleanly, and the six flats bear on the sides of the nut.

Which one?

For a nut on a long thread, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 22mm 6 Point Deep Impact Socket (CISD12022M) is the longer option, and the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 22mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS1222M) is the regular length.
