Carlyle 3/8 Drive 16mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS3816M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CIS3816M

The Carlyle CIS3816M is a 16mm impact socket with a 3/8in drive and six-point radius-corner opening, in chrome molybdenum alloy steel. It is for air and cordless 3/8in impact wrenches on 16mm nuts and bolts, standard length, and it can be turned with a ratchet or breaker bar when needed.

Good to know

• Is 3/8in drive enough for 16mm fasteners on a gun? For engine and body work, usually. For tight suspension or chassis bolts, a 1/2in gun and socket give more margin.
• Why are the openings chamfered? It helps the socket slip onto the nut and the gun's anvil more easily, so you spend less time lining up and are less likely to start turning before it is fully seated.
• Can I fit chrome extensions with it? Not on the gun; use impact extensions. Chrome accessories can crack or shatter under impact blows just like chrome sockets.

Which one?

For hand use, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 16mm 6 Point Chrome Socket (CS38016M) is lighter; for reach on the gun, the Carlyle 4 Piece 3/8 Drive impact extension set (CIEXTS384).
