Carlyle 1/4 Drive 6 Point Chrome Socket 4.5mm (CS140045M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS140045M

Carlyle's CS140045M is a 4.5mm six-point socket in 1/4in drive, shallow pattern, with a full polished chrome finish and deep-rolled vertical knurling. It is for very small hex nuts and screw heads in places where a deep socket would be too long to fit.

Good to know

• When do I need such a small socket? On miniature hex fixings, such as those on instruments, electronic modules and small accessories. Ordinary mechanical work on a car rarely goes this small.
• How do I stop it slipping? Press it squarely onto the head, turn slowly and use fingers or a screwdriver-style handle; at this size a ratchet handle makes it easy to overdo it.
• Can I find it again easily? The maker gives it deep-rolled, stamped knurling meant to make its size quick to pick out, even in a full toolbox or poor light.

Which one?

If the screw stands through the nut, the Carlyle 1/4 Drive 4.5mm 6 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD140045M) clears it; the Carlyle Ratchet – Teardrop – 1/4in Drive (R14TD) is a slim ratchet for tight spots.
