Carlyle 3/ 8 Drive E14 External Star Torx (CIS38E14)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CIS38E14

An E14 external star socket on a 3/8 inch square drive. Unlike a star bit, it goes over the outside of a star-shaped bolt head, the E-Torx type found on many modern engines and gearboxes. It suits a 3/8 inch ratchet, extension or torque wrench.

Good to know

• Do I need an E socket or a T bit? Look at the bolt: if the head stands up with star-shaped sides, it takes an external E socket like this; if the star is a hole in the head, you need an internal T bit.
• How do I confirm E14? Fit the socket over the head before turning. It should slide down the full height of the head with no rotational play; a loose socket can round the points.
• Is it rated for an impact gun? The listing does not say so, so treat it as a hand-tool socket for ratchets and torque wrenches.

Which one?

For impact guns, the Carlyle 9 Piece 3/8 Drive external star E5 to E16 (CISS389ET) is listed for impact and air tools and covers E5 to E16. For a full hand set, the Carlyle 11 Piece External E Torx Socket Set E4 to E20 (CBSET11) runs E4 to E20.
