Williams Comfort Products JHW2M-617 17MM 3/8 in Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW2M-617 is a 17 MM metric shallow impact socket with a 3/8 inch drive, built for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches in professional trade applications. The socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings engineered to deliver greater turning power while reducing the risk of fastener deformation under high-torque conditions. Heat-treated construction extends service life and provides the durability and safety expected in impact-rated tooling. With an overall length of approximately 1.2 inches, the shallow profile suits confined-space fastener access where deep sockets cannot fit.

This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and industrial service work where metric fasteners are common. The 3/8 inch square drive is compatible with standard impact wrenches and ratchets used daily in shop and field environments. The shallow design is particularly useful in engine bays, equipment panels, and assembly fixtures where clearance above the fastener is limited. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings provide increased turning power without rounding fastener heads
• Designed for maximum engagement on 6-point fasteners
• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Specially heat-treated for impact use to deliver long-term durability and safety
• Shallow profile for access in tight or low-clearance fastener locations
• Metric sizing: 17 MM, 3/8 inch drive

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement impact socket compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets used in metric fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive pneumatic or electric impact wrench or ratchet. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, as impact tooling is subject to high stress cycles. This type of tooling is typically serviced by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working to manufacturer fastener specifications.
