Carlyle 3/8 Drive 6mm Hex 60mm Long Impact Socket (CISH3806M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CISH3806M

A 6mm hex impact socket on a 3/8 inch drive, 60mm long, from chrome molybdenum steel with a black phosphate finish. It is for 6mm socket-head bolts on an impact gun or ratchet, and the long body helps reach bolts sitting in recesses.

Good to know

• Can an impact gun strip a 6mm hex? Yes, if the bit isn't fully seated or the gun is on full power. Start on a low setting and keep the socket pushed into the bolt.
• What about tightening? Run the bolt in with the gun if you like, but the final torque should come from a torque wrench where the manual gives a figure.
• Will it fit an imperial bolt? No. It is metric 6mm; imperial hex sizes are close but can fit loosely and round the head.

Which one?

For hand-only work, the chrome CSH3806M is the 6mm. For a 1/2 inch drive impact set from 6mm to 19mm, the Carlyle 8 Piece 1/2DR Hex Impact Socket 6 – 19MM (CISS128HM) covers the larger range.
