Carlyle 3/8 Drive 13mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS3813M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CIS3813M

Carlyle's CIS3813M is a 13mm six-point impact socket in standard length with a 3/8in square drive. It is made from chrome molybdenum alloy steel for air and cordless impact wrenches, and with 13mm being one of the commonest bolt sizes on cars, it is likely to be the most-used socket on a 3/8in gun.

Good to know

• Is a 3/8in gun right for 13mm bolts? For most engine and underside work, yes. 3/8in drive suits most engine jobs; wheels and big suspension bolts are 1/2in drive territory.
• How do I stop it falling off the gun? Push it fully onto the anvil so the gun's retaining ring or pin holds it; if it still drops off, that ring or pin may be worn.
• Will the gun strip the thread when tightening? It can on smaller fixings. Run bolts in on a low setting and finish with a torque wrench or by hand.
