Williams Comfort Products JHW8-6256 Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW8-6256 is a shallow impact socket built for heavy-duty fastener work with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. It features a 1-1/2 inch drive and measures 8 inches in overall length, making it suited for applications where a standard-depth socket is appropriate but high torque output is required. The lobular internal opening geometry is engineered to apply turning force to the flat faces of hex fasteners rather than the corners, reducing fastener deformation under load. The socket is specially heat treated to handle the repeated shock loads generated by impact tools while maintaining structural integrity over extended service life.

This socket is intended for professional trade use in industrial, construction, and heavy equipment maintenance settings. It is an SAE-specification socket designed for use where large-diameter fasteners require significant torque. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, ironworkers, and field service technicians working with impact wrenches will find this socket appropriate for large structural fastener applications. The shallow profile suits installations where clearance is not severely restricted but a compact tool is still preferred over a deep-well socket.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry maximizes contact on 6-point fasteners and reduces corner rounding
• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Specially heat treated for impact use, providing long service life and structural safety
• 1-1/2 inch drive fits heavy-duty impact wrench configurations
• Shallow profile for general-access fastener applications
• SAE specification for use with standard inch-measurement fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use shallow impact socket for 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches operating on SAE 6-point fasteners in industrial and heavy equipment applications.

Installation Notes

This socket should be installed and used only with impact wrenches rated for a 1-1/2 inch drive. Always inspect the socket for cracks, chips, or deformation before each use and remove from service if any damage is found. Power down or depressurize the impact tool before attaching or removing the socket. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets, as the higher brittleness of impact-grade steel is not designed for that loading pattern.
