Williams Comfort Products JHWBM-1217 Shallow Socket 17MM

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBM-1217 is a metric shallow socket designed for professional fastener work in tight clearance applications. Built on a 3/8 inch drive, this socket fits 17 MM fasteners and features a 15/32 inch overall length, making it well-suited for jobs where a standard-depth socket would not clear surrounding components. The lobular internal opening geometry increases turning force on the fastener while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads under load. Mechanical and maintenance tradespeople will find this socket a reliable addition to a metric drive set.

This socket is appropriate for use in residential and commercial service environments where metric fasteners are common. Typical applications include equipment panel work, mechanical assembly, and service tasks on imported machinery, HVAC equipment, and other metric-fastened systems. The shallow profile allows access in recessed or space-restricted locations where a deep socket or standard-depth socket would be blocked by surrounding structure or adjacent hardware.

Key Features

• Lobular opening geometry increases turning power without deforming fastener heads
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6-point and 12-point fasteners
• Shallow profile for use in low-clearance and recessed fastener locations
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard 3/8 inch ratchets and extensions
• Metric sizing at 17 MM for use with metric fastener sets

Compatibility

Designed as a 3/8 inch drive metric shallow socket for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 17 MM metric fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, and maintenance tradespeople. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the lobular openings show deformation. Never use a socket with a cheater bar or extension not rated for the drive size.
