Carlyle 3/8 Drive 10mm Hex Bit Socket (CSH3810M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSH3810M

The CSH3810M is a 10mm metric hex bit socket on a 3/8 inch drive, for 10mm socket-head (Allen) bolts and plugs. It has an S2 steel bit in a chrome-plated socket with a knurled band, and turns on a 3/8 inch ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench.

Good to know

• Why use a hex bit socket instead of an Allen key? On a ratchet you get far more leverage and control, and you can use a torque wrench where the job has a figure.
• Is 10mm the same as 3/8 inch hex? No. Metric and imperial hex sizes are close but not the same, and the wrong system can fit loosely and round the bolt. Check what your bolt is.
• Can it go on an impact gun? No. It is chrome hand tooling; for impact work use the black impact version.

Which one?

For an impact gun, the CISH3810M is the 10mm impact socket on the same drive. A 3/8 inch set from 2mm to 12mm is the Carlyle 12 Piece 3/8 Drive Hex Metric Socket Set 2mm – 12mm (CBSH3812M).
