Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38110M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38110M

This Carlyle CSD38110M is a deep 10mm socket for 3/8in drive with a twelve-point opening and polished chrome finish. The long body reaches 10mm nuts on studs and in recesses around the engine, and the twelve points let it slip on at more angles where the ratchet has little room to move.

Good to know

• Where does a deep 10mm earn its place? On nuts threaded onto long studs, such as those holding covers and heat shields, where a shallow socket would hit the end of the stud before it grips.
• Is twelve-point safe on a tight nut? Fine on clean, sound nuts. On a rusty or slightly rounded one, switch to a six-point socket, which grips the flats rather than the corners.
• What's the knurled band for? Spinning the socket with your fingers once the nut has broken free, which is far quicker than ratcheting a long stud.

Which one?

For a firmer grip on tired nuts, the six-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38010M) is the deep alternative; for an impact gun choose the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm 6 Point Deep Impact Socket (CISD38010M).
