Williams Comfort Products JHW35542 Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW35542 is a shallow impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. Built to SAE specification with a 1 5/16 inch opening and an overall length of approximately 1.8 inches, this socket is heat treated specifically for impact applications. The lobular internal geometry engages fastener flats rather than corners, reducing fastener deformation under high torque loads. It suits professional mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who regularly work with impact tools in tight spaces.

This shallow socket is suited for applications where clearance is limited and a deep socket would interfere with surrounding components. The 1/2 inch square drive pairs with standard impact wrenches common on automotive, HVAC equipment, and mechanical systems service work. The pin retention hole and groove on the drive end allow a retaining pin or ring to secure the socket to the anvil, which is standard practice in professional impact socket use.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings distribute force across fastener flats to reduce deformation
• Designed for maximum engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners
• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches via 1/2 inch drive
• Specially heat treated for impact use, providing long service life and durability
• Drive end includes pin retention hole and groove for secure anvil attachment
• Shallow profile allows use in confined or low-clearance workspaces

Compatibility

Designed as a 1/2 inch drive shallow impact socket for use with standard pneumatic and electric impact wrenches accepting 1/2 inch square drive tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by qualified mechanical or trade professionals familiar with impact tooling safety. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener and secured to the wrench anvil via the retention pin or ring before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and remove from service if any damage is observed. Do not use impact sockets with hand ratchets or torque wrenches, as they are designed and rated for impact use only.
