Williams Comfort Products JHWBD-810 Shallow Socket 5/16 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBD-810 is a shallow SAE socket designed for fastener removal and installation in tight-clearance applications. Built from high-grade chrome vanadium steel, this socket delivers reliable torque transfer and long service life under demanding conditions. The 3/8 inch drive accepts standard ratchets and extensions. The SUPERTORQUE lobular opening geometry grips fastener flats more aggressively than standard hex profiles, reducing the risk of rounding under load. At 29/32 inch overall length, the shallow profile fits in confined spaces where a standard-depth socket would not clear. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics reach for this socket during equipment service across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications.

This socket suits residential and light commercial service work where 5/16 inch SAE fasteners are common. Typical applications include panel access hardware, blower assembly fasteners, access cover bolts, and general mechanical fastener service. The 3/8 inch drive is a standard size found on most service technician drive sets, making this socket a direct fit to existing ratchet handles and torque wrenches already on the truck. It is sold individually and is equally at home in a shop environment or a field service kit.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable service procedures. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off gas or fluid supplies before beginning fastener service on mechanical systems. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Use a calibrated torque wrench when a specific torque value is specified by the equipment manufacturer.
