Williams Comfort Products JHWBD-816 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBD-816 is a shallow SAE socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in tight-clearance applications. Built from high-grade chrome vanadium steel, this 1/2 inch socket features a SUPERTORQUE lobular opening that delivers greater turning power while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The 3/8 inch square drive and compact 1 inch overall length make it well suited for confined spaces where a standard-depth socket will not fit. It is sold individually and is a reliable choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople who demand consistent performance from their hand tools.

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Its shallow profile makes it a practical option for service calls where bolt heads are recessed in shallow pockets or where drive clearance above the fastener is limited. The SAE sizing covers standard inch-measurement fasteners commonly encountered in residential and light commercial mechanical systems and equipment installations.

Key Features

• Chrome vanadium steel construction for durability under repeated high-torque use
• SUPERTORQUE lobular opening reduces fastener deformation compared to standard hex openings
• Shallow profile fits confined spaces where standard-depth sockets cannot reach
• 3/8 inch square drive compatible with common ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 1/2 inch SAE fastener size for standard inch-measurement hardware
• Sold individually, one unit per order

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and accessories accepting SAE shallow sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by qualified technicians and tradespeople using standard hand tool practices. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the drive opening shows signs of deformation. Always use the correct drive size and fastener size combination to prevent tool failure.
