Williams Comfort Products JHW32523 23MM Shallow Metric Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW32523 is a shallow metric socket designed for professional fastener work in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service applications. Built to 23 MM, it accepts a standard 1/2 inch drive and measures 1 5/8 inches overall length. The lobular internal opening geometry delivers increased turning power compared to standard hex designs while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. This socket is sold individually and suits working techs who need a reliable, compact metric socket for tight-clearance fastener access.

This shallow socket is appropriate for general mechanical service where fastener depth allows a shorter socket profile. The 1/2 inch drive interface is compatible with standard ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars common in trade and shop environments. The 23 MM size covers a range of metric fasteners found in HVAC equipment mounting hardware, mechanical assemblies, and industrial machinery. It is suited for installation and service by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general mechanical tradespeople.

Installation Notes

Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical trades typically use this socket with a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque values are specified. Ensure the drive lug is fully seated in the socket before applying force. Do not use impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or rounding before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
