Description
Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S12012M
A 12mm, 6-point socket in shallow length for 1/2in drive, polished chrome and non-impact. Twelve millimetre heads are common on M8 bolts on Japanese cars, and this socket gives a tight 12mm fixing the strength of a 1/2in ratchet or breaker bar.
Good to know
- Is 12mm the bolt or the head? The head, measured across the flats; it is usually an M8 bolt on Japanese makes, while European M8 bolts more often have a 13mm head.
- What if the bolt goes into an aluminium part? Take care: a long 1/2in handle can strip small threads in alloy, so tighten by feel or to the maker's figure.
- Can I use it on an impact gun? No, this is a non-impact socket for hand tools.
Which one?
For an impact gun, the Carlyle Socket – Shallow Impact – Metric – 1/2in Drive – 12 mm (61-4112); for a nut on a long stud, the Carlyle Socket – Deep Well Impact – 1/2in Drive – 12 mm (61-4312). The Carlyle Ratchet – Slim Teardrop – 1/2in Drive (R12TD) suits tight spaces.
