Description
Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S38016M
This 16mm socket has a 3/8in square drive and 6-point opening, made from chrome vanadium steel and listed in standard (shallow) length. Sixteen millimetre heads are found on M10 bolts on some European cars, and the 3/8in drive keeps the ratchet compact in the engine bay.
Good to know
- Is 16mm or 17mm right for my M10 bolts? European cars use both, so check the head before you start; Japanese makes often use 14mm on M10.
- Is 3/8in drive enough for a 16mm bolt? For most engine-bay fixings yes; for suspension or anything done up very hard, a 1/2in drive socket shares the load better.
- Can it go on an impact gun? No. Keep it for ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches.
Which one?
For a nut on a stud, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 16mm Deep Chrome Socket (CSD38016M); for impact tools, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive 16mm 6 Point Standard Impact Socket (CIS3816M). For a tight one, the Carlyle 3/8 Drive Breaker Bar 200mm (CFH38).
