Carlyle Socket – Shallow – Metric Standard – 1/2in Drive – 13 mm (S12013M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S12013M

Here is a 13mm socket, 6-point and shallow length, for 1/2in drive hand tools. Thirteen millimetres is the usual head on M8 bolts on European cars, so this polished chrome socket earns its place on a 1/2in ratchet or breaker bar for brackets and mountings that are done up firmly.

Good to know

• Does a 1/2in drive 13mm replace my 3/8in one? Not entirely. Keep the 3/8in for quick, light work in tight spots, and use this one when a 13mm fixing needs real force.
• What if the nut sits on a stud? A shallow socket bottoms out on protruding thread; use a deep 13mm instead.
• Is it for impact tools? No. It is non-impact, so pair it with a ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench.

Which one?

For an impact gun, the Carlyle Socket – Shallow Impact – Metric – 1/2in Drive – 13 mm (61-4113); for a nut on a stud, the Carlyle Socket – Deep Well Impact – 1/2in Drive – 13 mm (61-4313). Use the Carlyle 1/2 Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet 300mm Long (CR1290) to drive it.
