Williams Comfort Products JHW8-696 Shallow Impact Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHW8-696 is a shallow impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in industrial and mechanical applications. Built with a 1 1/2 inch drive and a 3 inch SAE opening, it measures 4 7/16 inches overall length. The socket features SUPERTORQUE lobular internal geometry, which increases turning power while reducing deformation on fastener heads. Specially heat treated for impact service, this socket is rated for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. It is sold individually and suits tradespeople working in high-torque environments where fastener integrity matters.

This socket is well suited for heavy equipment maintenance, structural assembly, and industrial repair work where large-diameter fasteners are standard. The 1 1/2 inch drive size places it in the heavy industrial range, making it appropriate for fleet mechanics, millwrights, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians working on large machinery, presses, or structural connections. The shallow profile reduces overall stack height compared to deep-well sockets, which can be an advantage in confined or partially obstructed access points.

Key Features

• SUPERTORQUE lobular openings increase turning power without deforming fastener corners
• Designed for maximum engagement on 6-point fasteners
• Compatible with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches
• Specially heat treated for impact service to extend service life and improve safety
• Shallow profile reduces overall height for tighter access situations
• SAE sizing with 1 1/2 inch drive for heavy industrial fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1 1/2 inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches rated for heavy industrial service.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified mechanics and tradespeople operating impact wrenches in industrial settings. Always confirm the drive size of the impact tool matches the 1 1/2 inch drive of this socket before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets not rated for impact service.
