Williams Comfort Products JHW35512 Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW35512 is a 3/8-inch SAE shallow impact socket with a 1/2-inch drive, built for professional use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. Measuring 1.3 inches in overall length and weighing just 0.11 pounds, this compact socket is engineered for tight-access fastening tasks where a standard-depth socket will not fit. The lobular internal opening geometry — marketed as SUPERTORQUE — transfers greater rotational force to the fastener while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming the drive points. Specially heat-treated steel construction is designed to handle repeated impact loads without cracking or deforming over the life of the tool.

This socket is intended for use in mechanical and industrial service applications where a 3/8-inch SAE fastener must be driven with an impact wrench. The shallow profile makes it well-suited for fasteners that sit flush or slightly recessed in a panel, housing, or assembly. The drive end includes a pin retention hole and groove to accept a hog ring or retaining pin, keeping the socket secured to the impact wrench anvil during operation. Suitable for both light-duty shop work and demanding field service environments.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings transfer higher torque without deforming fastener drive points
• Designed for maximum engagement on 6-point and 12-point fasteners
• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Specially heat-treated for impact use, providing long service life and durability
• Drive end features pin retention hole and groove for secure wrench attachment
• Shallow profile suits flush or recessed fastener installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with standard 1/2-inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches accepting SAE shallow-profile sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or industrial service technician. Always verify the impact wrench is depressurized or powered down before changing sockets. Use the pin retention hole and groove with an appropriate retaining pin or hog ring to prevent the socket from separating from the anvil during impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
