Carlyle 1/4 Drive 6 Point 15mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD14015M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD14015M

Carlyle's CSD14015M is a 15mm deep socket for 1/4in drive: six-point opening, polished chrome, knurled band. The extra length goes over studs and protruding bolts and down into pockets, which lets a small ratchet reach a 15mm nut that a shallow socket couldn't get onto.

Good to know

• Will the deep body make it wobble? A little more than a shallow one, so steady the ratchet head with your free hand and keep the socket in line with the stud as you turn it.
• Is 1/4in drive right for a 15mm nut? For lightly tightened nuts, yes. 1/4in drive is meant for small fasteners, so loosen anything tight with a larger drive first.
• Can it go on a power tool? Not an impact tool: chrome sockets can crack or shatter under impact blows. A cordless ratchet used gently is fine for spinning nuts off.

Which one?

The shorter Carlyle 1/4 Drive 6 Point 15mm Chrome Socket (CS14015M) sits more steadily where there's no long thread; for tight nuts, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 15mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38015M) takes more force.
