Williams Comfort Products JHWBD-812 Shallow Socket 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBD-812 is a shallow SAE socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in tight-clearance applications. Built from high-grade chrome vanadium steel, this socket features a SUPERTORQUE lobular opening that increases turning power while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The 3/8 inch drive accepts standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions, and the shallow profile keeps overall length to 15/16 inches, making it well suited for confined spaces. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trades all reach for shallow sockets when fastener access is limited by surrounding components or enclosures.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch square-drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches in professional tool kits. The shallow design is particularly useful when working around HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing access points, and equipment mounting hardware where a deep socket would contact surrounding structure. At 0.05 pounds, it adds minimal weight to a service bag or tray.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work. Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and replace any socket that shows signs of rounding on the drive square or lobular opening.
