Williams Comfort Products JHW38438 Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW38438 is a shallow impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening applications. Built on a 3/4 inch drive, this SAE socket features a 1 3/16 inch opening and an overall length of 2 1/16 inches. SUPERTORQUE lobular openings distribute force across the fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fasteners under high torque. The socket is specially heat treated for impact use, making it well suited for professional-grade pneumatic and electric impact wrenches used in industrial, commercial, and fleet maintenance environments.

This socket is intended for use in professional trade settings where 3/4 inch drive impact tooling is standard. Typical applications include heavy equipment maintenance, commercial vehicle service, structural assembly, and industrial fastening work. The shallow profile is useful in confined spaces where a deep socket would not fit, and the SAE sizing covers standard fractional fasteners common in North American machinery and equipment.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings provide greater turning power without deforming fastener corners
• Designed for maximum engagement on 6 or 12 point fasteners
• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Specially heat treated for impact use to deliver long service life and durability
• Shallow profile suits confined-space fastening where clearance is limited

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or professional-grade addition for 3/4 inch drive impact socket sets used in industrial and commercial service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified mechanics or trade professionals familiar with impact tooling. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets, as the torque loads generated by impact wrenches exceed the design limits of non-impact-rated tools. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
