Williams Comfort Products JHWBM-617 17MM 3/8 in Metric Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWBM-617 is a shallow metric socket designed for professional hand-tool use in trade and mechanical service environments. Built for 3/8 inch drive, this socket fits 17 MM fasteners and features a lobular internal opening geometry that increases turning power while reducing the risk of rounding or deforming fastener heads. The overall assembled length is 1.1 inches, making it well suited for confined or low-clearance fastening applications. Licensed tradespeople and mechanics working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and mechanical assemblies will find this socket a reliable addition to their drive set.

This shallow socket is intended for use wherever a standard-depth socket would create clearance problems or where a low-profile tool is preferred. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work. The 3/8 inch drive size is compatible with a wide range of common ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications.
