Williams Comfort Products JHW6M-1242 Impact Socket 42MM

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW6M-1242 is a 42 MM metric shallow impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional trade environments. Built with SUPERTORQUE lobular openings, it applies force to the flat sides of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. The socket is sized for a 3/4 inch drive and features a pin retention hole and groove at the drive end to secure the socket to the impact wrench during operation. Specially heat treated for impact use, it delivers long service life under the repeated shock loads generated by pneumatic and electric impact tools.

This socket is suited for heavy-duty mechanical and industrial applications where metric fasteners require consistent, high-torque removal or installation. The shallow profile makes it practical in locations where a deep socket would not clear surrounding components. It is commonly used by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on equipment with large metric fasteners. The socket works with both pneumatic and electric impact wrenches rated for a 3/4 inch drive.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings engage fastener flats to reduce deformation and slipping
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for maximum engagement
• Pin retention hole and groove at drive end secure socket to impact wrench
• Specially heat treated for impact use, providing durability and long service life
• Shallow profile allows access in tight or low-clearance spaces
• Rated for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit impact socket for 3/4 inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches accepting 42 MM metric shallow sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified mechanics or trade professionals familiar with impact tooling. Before attaching or removing the socket, ensure the impact wrench is disconnected from its air supply or power source. Always verify the drive size and fastener size match before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on hand ratchets, as they are not designed for that load profile.
