Carlyle 3/8 Drive 16mm 12 Point Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38116M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CSD38116M

This Carlyle CSD38116M is a 16mm deep socket with twelve points and a 3/8in square drive. Its long body reaches 16mm nuts on studs and in recesses, the twelve-point opening helps line it up from awkward angles, and the polished chrome finish with knurled band makes it easy to keep clean and spin by hand.

Good to know

• Can I use it to take out 16mm spark plugs? It isn't designed for it: plug sockets are deeper and usually hold the plug so it can't drop. Use a dedicated plug socket.
• How do I deal with a nut on a rusty stud? Clean the exposed thread with a wire brush, apply penetrating oil and give it time, then turn steadily. A deep socket helps by gripping the whole nut.
• Six-point or twelve-point deep? Choose this twelve-point one for clean nuts where lining up is the problem; six-point for grip on worn ones.

Which one?

The six-point Carlyle 3/8 Drive 16mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38016M) grips worn nuts better; for 16mm spark plugs, the Carlyle Spark Plug Socket T- Bar Swivel 16mm (CWSP1621M).
