Carlyle 1/4 Drive 6 Point 15mm Chrome Socket (CS14015M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS14015M

Carlyle CS14015M: a 15mm six-point socket on a 1/4in drive, short pattern, finished in polished chrome. It is the largest shallow size in this 1/4in run, handy when a 15mm nut sits somewhere only a slim ratchet will reach, though bigger drive sizes are better for anything done up tightly.

Good to know

• Why buy a 15mm in 1/4in drive? For access, not strength. A 1/4in ratchet head is small, so it gets into gaps a 3/8in one can't. Use it to run nuts on and off once they are loose.
• How do I loosen a tight one first? Crack it with a 3/8in or 1/2in tool and a 15mm socket of that size, then switch to this one where the space closes in.
• What tells me it is seated properly? It should sit flat and fully home on the nut with no rocking; if it sits proud, there may be dirt or rust on the nut to brush off first.

Which one?

The deep version is the Carlyle 1/4 Drive 6 Point 15mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD14015M); for real force the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 6 Point 15mm Chrome Socket (CS38015M) suits a stronger ratchet.
