Carlyle 1/2in Drive 23mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1223M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1223M

This Carlyle stubby impact socket (CISST1223M) is 23mm across the flats with a 1/2in square drive. Short and six-point, it is for impact wrenches and ratchets on nuts with little clearance in front of them. Chrome molybdenum alloy steel gives it the toughness for hammering, and black phosphate keeps the rust down.

Good to know

• Can I use it round a corner? Yes, with an impact universal joint between gun and socket; keep the angle shallow, because the joint loses some of the blows and can flop over as it spins.
• Is 23mm the same as an imperial size? Don't assume so. Use a socket that slides fully on with no rock; a near-enough size from a different system can round the nut corners.
• What about a really stubborn nut? Soak it in penetrating oil and give it time, then let the gun or a breaker bar do the work in short bursts rather than one long hammering.

Which one?

To work at an angle, add the Carlyle 1/2 Drive Universal Joint Impact (CIUNIV12); where length is needed, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 23mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS1223M) and Deep Impact Socket (CISD12023M) are longer.
