Williams Comfort Products JHW36617 17MM 3/8 Dr Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW36617 is a shallow impact socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications. Built to a 17 MM metric size with a 3/8 inch drive, this socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings that deliver greater turning power while reducing the risk of deforming fastener heads. With an overall length of 1.125 inches, this compact profile is suited for confined spaces where a deep socket would not fit. Specially heat treated for impact use, it is compatible with both pneumatic and electric impact wrenches used by mechanics and trade professionals.

This socket is intended for metric fastener applications across automotive, equipment maintenance, and general mechanical service. The shallow profile makes it practical in tight engine bays or panel areas where clearance is limited. The drive end includes a pin retention hole and groove, which helps secure the socket to the impact wrench anvil during use. It is sold individually and serves as a standard addition to any metric impact socket set used in professional service environments.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings provide greater turning force without rounding fastener corners

• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Specially heat treated for impact use, promoting long service life and safety
• Drive end features a pin retention hole and groove for secure anvil attachment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with standard 3/8 inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches accepting metric shallow sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by professional mechanics, automotive technicians, and general maintenance trades. Always verify the impact wrench is powered down and depressurized before changing sockets. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the pin retention clip is engaged before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard ratchet handles, as impact-rated tooling is designed specifically for the shock loads produced by impact drivers.
