Williams Comfort Products JHWB-409 Shallow Socket 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWB-409 is a shallow SAE socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Built to a 9/32 inch fastener size, it features SUPERTORQUE lobular openings that increase turning power while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The 8-point socket geometry allows for quick engagement on 4-point fasteners, making it well suited for tight or repetitive fastening tasks. Overall length is 1-1/32 inches, keeping the profile compact for use in confined spaces. Sold individually and weighs approximately 0.05 pounds.

This socket is appropriate for mechanical and maintenance applications across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades where SAE fasteners are common. The shallow profile is preferred in installations where socket depth is limited by surrounding hardware or panel clearance. It is a standard hand tool addition for service technicians who work with 4-point fasteners on equipment housings, access panels, or mechanical assemblies.
