Williams Comfort Products JHWBM-615 Metric Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBM-615 is a metric shallow socket designed for professional-grade fastener removal and installation. Built for 3/8 inch drive tools, this socket features a 15 MM opening and an overall length of 1 3/32 inches. The lobular internal geometry engages 6-point fasteners with increased contact area, reducing the chance of rounding off bolt heads and nuts under high torque loads. It is a standard hand-tool-room component used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers working on metric-fastened equipment and assemblies.

This shallow socket is suited for applications where clearance space is adequate and a low-profile tool profile is preferred over a deep socket. Common use cases include tightening and loosening metric fasteners on HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture hardware, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. The 3/8 inch drive size positions it as a mid-range drive for moderate torque applications encountered in residential and light commercial service work.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fastened covers, panels, or components. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use at high torque values.
