Carlyle 1/2 Drive 17mm 6 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD12017M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD12017M

Carlyle's CSD12017M is a 17mm deep socket for 1/2in drive hand tools, six-point with radius corners, mirror-polished chrome and a knurled base. 17mm is a common wheel nut size, and the deep body suits wheel nuts on long studs, as well as 17mm nuts on threaded rods and through-bolts where a shallow socket runs short.

Good to know

• Will it work on my wheel nuts? If they are 17mm and sit on studs, yes. For wheel bolts the deep body isn't needed, but it does no harm; always finish them with a torque wrench to the vehicle's figure.
• How do I undo wheel nuts safely? Crack them loose with the wheel still on the ground, then raise the car and remove them; never work under a car on the jack alone.
• Can I use it on a gun? No. It's chrome, for hand tools; chrome can crack or shatter on an impact wrench.

Which one?

For a gun, the 17mm impact CIS1217M or 12 point CIS12117M; to drive this by hand with leverage, the Carlyle 1/ 2 Drive Breaker Bar 450mm Long Size 460mm (CFH1218).
