Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISH3812M

Carlyle's CISH3812M is a 12mm hex impact socket, 60mm long, on a 3/8 inch drive. Chrome molybdenum steel and a black phosphate finish make it suitable for impact wrenches on 12mm socket-head bolts, with enough length to reach a bolt sitting below the surface.

Good to know

• Is 3/8 inch drive enough for a 12mm hex? For most jobs with a 3/8 inch impact gun, yes. For very tight bolts on suspension, a 1/2 inch drive gives more strength and leverage.
• Should I use an impact gun to do bolts up? Run them in, but do the final tightening with a torque wrench where the manual gives a figure.
• What wear should I watch for? Rounded edges on the hex tip. A worn bit slips and damages bolt heads, so replace it once the corners go.

Which one?

For more strength, the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 12mm Hex 60mm Long Impact Socket (CISH1212M) is the 12mm on a 1/2 inch drive. For hand use, the chrome CSH3812M is the 3/8 inch version.
