Description
Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS38017M
Carlyle's CS38017M is a 17mm six-point chrome socket in the short pattern for 3/8in drive, with a knurled band and polished finish. It suits M10 fixings with 17mm heads on engines and bodywork, and the six-point radius-corner opening is the one to choose when a bolt is tight, rusty or partly rounded.
Good to know
- Is 3/8in drive the right size for 17mm? For engine and body bolts, yes. For wheel nuts and heavy suspension bolts of the same size, 1/2in drive is stronger and suits a torque wrench.
- How do I avoid rounding a stubborn 17mm head? Make sure the socket is fully on, keep the ratchet square and pull steadily. If it won't move, use penetrating oil and a breaker bar.
- Why have both 3/8in and 1/2in drive 17mm sockets? 3/8in is lighter and fits tighter spaces; 1/2in takes more force. The job, not the nut size alone, decides which one you need.
Which one?
For an impact gun use the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS3817M); for breaking tight bolts by hand, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive Breaker Bar 200mm (CFH38).
