Carlyle 10 Piece 1/2 Drive Metric Hex Socket Set 6mm – 19mm (CBSH1210M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CBSH1210M

A Carlyle 10 piece set of 1/2in drive metric hex bit sockets in 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 19mm. The S2 steel hex bits sit in chrome vanadium sockets with a polished chrome finish, for undoing Allen head bolts that need more force than a key can give.

Good to know

• What jobs need 1/2in drive hex sockets? Tight Allen head bolts that a key would round off or can't turn, such as some brake caliper carrier bolts, driveshaft flange bolts and gearbox drain or filler plugs, used with a breaker bar or torque wrench.
• Can I use these on an impact gun? No, these are chrome hand tool sockets; on an impact wrench use impact rated sockets, which are made to take the hammering without cracking.
• How do I stop a hex head rounding? Clean the dirt out of the bolt head, push the bit fully home so it bottoms out, and keep the bar square to the bolt; if the head is already chewed, stop and use an extractor.

Which one?
