Carlyle 1/2in Drive 24mm 6 PT Stubby Impact Socket (CISST1224M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISST1224M

Carlyle's CISST1224M is the 24mm size in their 1/2in drive stubby impact range: a short six-point socket in chrome molybdenum alloy steel with a black phosphate finish. It suits larger nuts where an impact gun has to sit close in, and it is just as happy on a hand ratchet or breaker bar.

Good to know

• Does a bigger nut need more care? Yes: larger nuts are usually done up tighter, so crack them with a breaker bar or the gun rather than a ratchet, whose pawl is the weak point under a heavy load.
• Short or standard length? Choose this stubby one only when the gap in front of the nut is tight; otherwise a standard-length socket is easier to keep square and see past.
• Do I need an impact socket if I only work by hand? Not strictly, but this one copes with both, so it is a sensible choice if you might put a gun on it later.

Which one?

For hand use with more reach, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 24mm 6 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD12024M) is longer but chrome, so keep it off the gun; the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 24mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS1224M) is the full-length impact one.
