Carlyle Socket – Shallow – Metric Standard – 1/2in Drive – 20 mm (S12020M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S12020M

This 20mm socket is 6-point, shallow and 1/2in drive, in polished chrome. Twenty millimetres falls between the common 19mm and 21mm wheel nut sizes and is easy to be without, so this one covers a 20mm head with the strength of a 1/2in ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar.

Good to know

• Will a 19mm or 21mm do at a push? No. A loose socket can slip and round the head, and a rounded 20mm bolt is a long job to remove. Try the fit by hand first.
• Is 1/2in drive right at this size? Yes; a 20mm head is often on a fixing done up hard, and 1/2in drive takes that load safely where a 3/8in square may twist.
• Can it be used on an impact wrench? No, it is a non-impact chrome socket.

Which one?

For impact work, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 6 Point 20mm Standard Impact Socket (CIS1220M); for a nut on a long stud, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 20mm 6 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD12020M). Drive it with the Carlyle 1/2in Drive 90-Tooth 300mm Long Handle Ratchet (CR1290L).
