- Fits ISO M12 nuts
- Not a spark plug socket
Description
Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS38118M
Carlyle's CS38118M is an 18mm twelve-point socket for 3/8in drive, shallow, in polished chrome with a knurled band. 18mm fits M12 nuts made to the ISO standard, and the twelve-point opening means less swing is needed to refit it on the nut when working between parts in a tight engine bay.
Good to know
- Is this for 18mm spark plugs? No. Plugs with an 18mm hex need a plug socket long enough to reach down the well; this shallow socket won't get to them.
- Will it fit every M12 nut? No. Depending on the standard they were made to, M12 nuts are 18mm or 19mm across the flats, so check the fit first.
- Is a 3/8in socket strong enough for M12? For lightly loaded fixings, yes; M12 bolts on suspension and chassis are usually very tight and better tackled with 1/2in drive.
Which one?
For a firmer grip, use the six-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 18mm 6 Point Chrome Socket (CS38018M); for long studs, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 18mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38118M).
