Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm Hex 60mm long impact socket (CISH3810M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISH3810M

A 10mm hex impact socket on a 3/8 inch drive, 60mm long, made from chrome molybdenum steel with a black phosphate finish. It is built to take the hammering of an impact wrench or air gun on 10mm socket-head bolts, and the length helps reach bolts set back in a recess.

Good to know

• Why impact rather than chrome? Impact sockets are made of tougher steel to take the blows of an air or cordless impact gun. A chrome hex bit can crack or shatter under the same use.
• How do I avoid rounding a tight 10mm hex? Clean out the head, push the bit fully home and make the first move slowly. If the hex starts to round, stop rather than keep hammering.
• Can I use it on a hand ratchet too? Yes. Impact sockets work on ratchets and breaker bars, they are simply tougher than chrome ones.
