Carlyle 1/2in Drive 20mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1220M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1220M

Carlyle's CISST1220M is a 20mm six-point stubby impact socket in 1/2in drive. It is meant for air or battery impact wrenches where there is little room in front of the nut, and it works on a hand ratchet or breaker bar too. Chrome molybdenum alloy steel with a black phosphate outer finish.

Good to know

• How do I check an impact socket is still safe? Look it over now and then for hairline cracks around the opening and a worn, rounded drive square; a cracked socket can split under the gun and should be thrown away.
• Will a six-point opening grip a rusty nut? Better than a twelve-point would: six flats bear on the sides of the nut rather than its corners, so it is less likely to round a nut that is already tired.
• Can I put it on an extension? Yes, but use impact extensions with an impact gun, and keep to the shortest length that reaches, because each extra joint adds wobble.

Which one?

When the stubby body is too short to reach, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 6 Point 20mm Standard Impact Socket (CIS1220M) or the 20mm Deep Impact Socket (CISD12020M) add length; the Carlyle 4 Piece 1/2 Drive impact extension set (CIEXTS124) adds reach to either.
