Carlyle 1/2 1Drive 8mm Hex Bit Socket 82mm Long (CSH1208M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSH1208M

Carlyle CSH1208M: an 8mm hex bit on a 1/2in square drive, 82mm long, the bit in S2 steel and the socket in chrome vanadium with a mirror polish. It gives an 8mm hex head the leverage of a 1/2in ratchet or breaker bar, plus a knurled band so you can start the bolt by hand.

Good to know

• Does the drive end make it quicker to use? The opening is chamfered so the socket slips onto the ratchet easily, and the knurled band lets you spin the bolt in by finger before taking up the load.
• How do I check the size? Try it in the cleaned head: an 8mm bit should go in fully and not rock; if it rocks, don't force it, because one size too small can round the head.
• What about an impact gun? Use a black impact hex socket on a gun; chrome sockets like this one can crack or shatter under impact.

Which one?

Impact version: the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 8mm Hex 60mm Long Impact Socket (CISH1208M); the Carlyle SH1208M is a near twin at 80mm long.
