Carlyle 3/8 Drive 14mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38014M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38014M

The Carlyle CSD38014M is a 14mm deep socket with six points and a 3/8in square drive, polished chrome with a knurled band. The long body goes over protruding threads to reach 14mm nuts that a shallow socket can't sit fully on, for hand ratchet work in the engine bay and underneath.

Good to know

• Can I use it for 14mm spark plugs? It isn't a plug socket: plug sockets are made to reach down the plug wells and usually hold the plug. Use a proper plug socket of the right size.
• How do I know the nut is 14mm? Try the socket; it should sit fully home with no rocking. If there is play, check for an imperial or different metric size before you put any force on it.
• What helps on a long stud? Spray penetrating oil on the exposed thread first; the nut has to travel along it, and rusty thread can make it bind halfway.

Which one?
