Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38018M

Carlyle's CSD38018M is an 18mm six-point deep socket with a 3/8in drive, polished chrome with a knurled band. Its long body reaches 18mm nuts on studs and in recesses, gripping the whole height of the nut so the force is spread over the flats rather than just the top edge.

Good to know

Is it suitable for 18mm spark plugs? No. A plug socket is made deeper still and grips the plug; this one is meant for nuts on studs and long bolts.
How tight can I go with a 3/8in deep socket? For most engine fixings it's fine. For very tight 18mm nuts, break them free first with a 1/2in tool, then finish with this.
What if the nut binds part way along the stud? Stop, apply penetrating oil to the exposed thread, work the nut back and forth a little and let the oil soak in before carrying on.

Which one?

The twelve-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 18mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38118M) is easier to line up; where there's no stud, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 18mm 6 Point Chrome Socket (CS38018M) is shorter.
