Williams Comfort Products JHW7-1242 Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW7-1242 is a shallow impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in professional trade applications. Built with a 1-inch drive and a 1-5/16-inch SAE opening, it features an overall length of 2-3/4 inches. The lobular opening geometry transfers torque to the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing fastener deformation under high-torque conditions. Heat treatment specific to impact use gives this socket the strength and resilience needed for repeated pneumatic and electric impact wrench cycles. Licensed tradespeople and industrial mechanics working with large fasteners will find this socket suited to demanding applications.

This socket is intended for use with 1-inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches in automotive, heavy equipment, industrial, and mechanical contracting environments. The shallow profile suits applications where clearance depth is limited. SAE sizing makes it appropriate for inch-standard fasteners commonly found in North American-built equipment and machinery. The design accommodates both 6-point and 12-point fasteners, providing flexibility across a range of job site conditions.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry engages flat faces of fasteners, reducing corner rounding under impact torque
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for broad fastener coverage
• Shallow profile at 2-3/4 inches overall length for use in depth-restricted spaces
• Specially heat treated for impact use, providing durability and resistance to cracking under repeated impact cycles
• Rated for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• 1-inch SAE drive with 1-5/16-inch opening for large-format fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches and compatible with 6-point and 12-point SAE fasteners measuring 1-5/16 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal work using impact sockets should be performed by qualified mechanics or tradespeople familiar with impact wrench safety protocols. Always verify the socket drive size matches the impact wrench anvil before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is observed. Do not use impact sockets with hand-drive ratchets under sustained torque loads beyond the tool's rated capacity.
