Carlyle 1/2in Drive 12mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1212M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1212M

Carlyle's CISST1212M is a 12mm stubby impact socket, six-point, for 1/2in drive guns and ratchets, in chrome molybdenum steel with a black phosphate finish. 12mm heads are common on Japanese cars, and the short body gets a compact cordless gun onto 12mm bolts tucked under brackets or close to panels, where a standard socket is too tall.

Good to know

• Do I need a stubby if my gun is compact? Sometimes the socket, not the gun, is what won't fit; a stubby takes off height so a compact gun fits where it otherwise wouldn't.
• Why six-point? It drives on the flats, so it's kinder to a tight 12mm head than a 12 point and less likely to round it.
• How should I store impact sockets? Keep them dry and on a rail or in a case; the black phosphate finish resists corrosion but not standing water.

Which one?

With more headroom, the standard 12mm impact CIS1212M; for nuts on long studs, the deep 12mm impact CISD12012M; for angles, the 12 point CIS12112M. Neighbours in the stubby run are the 11mm CISST1211M and 13mm CISST1213M.
