Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38017M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38017M

This Carlyle CSD38017M is a 17mm deep socket with a six-point opening and 3/8in square drive, in polished chrome with a knurled band. It reaches 17mm nuts on long studs and bolts by hand, gripping the full height of the nut, and the six-point radius corners give the firmest grip on corroded or worn ones.

Good to know

• When do I need deep rather than shallow? When the thread stands well past the nut, or the nut sits in a recess. Otherwise use a shallow socket, which sits closer to the ratchet and wobbles less.
• How do I free a rusty nut on a long stud? Brush the exposed thread clean, apply penetrating oil and give it time; the nut has to travel along every bit of that thread.
• Is it suitable for an impact wrench? No, chrome sockets can crack or shatter under impact blows; use the deep impact 17mm with a gun.

Which one?

For the gun, choose the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm 6 Point Deep Impact Socket (CISD38017M); for tight angles, the twelve-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 17mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38117M).
