Carlyle 1/4 Drive 6 Point 4mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD14004M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD14004M

Carlyle's CSD14004M is the smallest deep socket in this 1/4in drive range at 4mm across the flats. Six-point and polished chrome, it fits a standard M2 nut and similar tiny hex fixings on electronics, gauges and small accessory parts, with a deep body that clears the end of a protruding screw.

Good to know

• What will I use a 4mm socket on? The tiniest hex nuts and screw heads, such as M2 nuts on circuit boards, meters and small brackets. Car mechanical work rarely needs anything this small.
• How do I avoid stripping such a small thread? Turn it with your fingertips on the knurled band. Even a short ratchet is enough to strip an M2 thread if you lean on it.
• Why deep rather than shallow? Small screws often stand through their nuts, and a deep socket clears the extra thread so it can sit fully on the nut.

Which one?
