Williams Comfort Products JHWB-1210 Shallow Socket 5/16 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWB-1210 is a shallow SAE socket designed for fastener removal and installation in tight clearance applications. Built from high-grade chrome vanadium steel, it accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits a 5/16 inch fastener. The overall length measures 1 inch, making it well suited for work in confined spaces where a standard-depth socket would not clear surrounding components. The SUPERTORQUE lobular opening design distributes force across the fastener flats rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque applications. This socket is sold individually and is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals who require precise, reliable hand tools on the job.

This shallow socket is a practical choice for residential and light commercial service work where fastener access is limited by nearby panels, housings, or structural members. Its compact 1 inch overall length suits equipment cabinet fasteners, bracket hardware, and mechanical connections commonly encountered during HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations. The 3/8 inch drive size is compatible with standard ratchets and extensions found in most professional tool sets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Before servicing any equipment, de-energize electrical circuits and shut off fuel or fluid supplies as appropriate per job scope. Use a properly rated torque method to avoid over-tightening fasteners in sheet metal or plastic housings. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
