Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38010M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38010M

This Carlyle CSD38010M is a 10mm deep socket for 3/8in drive with a six-point opening and polished chrome finish. A standard M6 nut is 10mm across the flats, and the deep body lets a ratchet reach the ones threaded onto long studs, such as those holding heat shields, covers and brackets in the engine bay.

Good to know

• Why is a deep 10mm so useful? Small nuts often sit on studs that stand well proud of them. A shallow socket stops on the end of the stud; this one goes over it and grips the whole nut.
• What if the stud turns with the nut? Some studs loosen before the nut does. Note which hole it came from, then refit and tighten the stud before the nut goes back on.
• Can it go on a cordless impact wrench? No, it is chrome, and chrome sockets can crack or shatter under impact blows. Use the deep impact version on a gun.

Which one?

For an impact gun use the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm 6 Point Deep Impact Socket (CISD38010M); the twelve-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38110M) fits on at more angles in tight spots.
