Carlyle 3/8 Drive 9mm 12 Point Chrome Socket (CS38109M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CS38109M

A 9mm socket with a 12-point opening, standard length, for 3/8in drive. Nine millimetre is one of the less common small sizes, and this chrome socket covers it with a 12-point opening that engages the head in more positions, useful when the ratchet has only a short swing.

Good to know

• How can I tell 9mm from 3/8in or 10mm? Offer the socket up by hand: the right size slides on with almost no play. Small heads can round off quickly if forced with a near size.
• When is 6-point better? On a tight, rusty or worn head; the 12-point opening can slip on the corners where a 6-point holds the flats.
• Does it turn 12-point (bi-hex) heads? Yes, which a 6-point socket of the same size cannot.

Which one?

For tight or worn heads, the 6-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 9mm 6 Point Chrome Socket (CS38009M); for heads down a recess, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 9mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38109M).
