Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38117M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38117M

This Carlyle CSD38117M is a 17mm deep twelve-point socket with a 3/8in square drive, in polished chrome with a knurled band. It reaches 17mm nuts on long studs and down in recesses, and its twelve-point opening helps when you can only approach the nut from an awkward angle.

Good to know

• Where does a deep 17mm come in? On nuts threaded onto long studs or bolts, where the thread stands past the nut; a shallow socket would hit the end and grip only the top edge.
• Is twelve-point right for a seized nut? No. Use penetrating oil, give it time, and switch to a six-point deep socket that grips the flats; a twelve-point may slip and round it.
• Can it go on an impact wrench? Not safely; chrome sockets can crack or shatter under impact blows. The deep impact 17mm is the gun version.

Which one?

For the gun, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm 6 Point Deep Impact Socket (CISD38017M); for a firmer grip by hand, the six-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38017M).
