Carlyle Socket – Shallow – Metric Standard – 1/2in Drive – 11 mm (S12011M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S12011M

An 11mm standard-length socket in 1/2in drive with a 6-point opening and polished chrome finish. It is a hand-tool socket for when an 11mm fixing is too tight for a small ratchet, letting you put a breaker bar or long 1/2in handle on it without risking a slim 3/8in square.

Good to know

• Will 6-point grip an old, rusty head? Better than 12-point, because it bears on the flats. Clean off rust scale first so the socket sits fully on the head.
• Will a 7/16in imperial socket do instead? It is close but not the same size, and it can slip and round off a metric head, so stick to 11mm.
• Is it impact rated? No. For impact guns, use an impact socket of the same size.
