Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1238 Shallow Socket

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1238 is a shallow SAE socket designed for professional use in tight-clearance fastening applications. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, this socket measures 2 1/4 inches overall length and fits 1 3/16 inch fasteners. The shallow profile makes it the right choice when standard-depth sockets cannot clear surrounding components. Lobular internal openings distribute torque across the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. Mechanics and service technicians reach for this socket when working in confined spaces on structural or equipment fasteners.

This socket is suited for general mechanical service work where a 1/2 inch drive tool is in use and SAE fastener sizing is required. The shallow overall length of 2 1/4 inches allows access to fasteners that sit flush or recessed in housings where a deep socket would bottom out before seating. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop and field use.

Key Features

• Shallow profile at 2 1/4 inches OAL allows use in restricted-clearance locations
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard impact and ratchet drive tools
• 1 3/16 inch SAE fastener size for common heavy-duty bolts and nuts
• Lobular opening geometry engages flat faces of 6-point and 12-point fasteners to reduce corner damage
• Designed for quick engagement on both 6 and 12 point fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement shallow socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and impact wrenches accepting SAE sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation of this socket requires a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or impact wrench. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to prevent slippage. Always verify the fastener size matches 1 3/16 inch SAE before use to avoid rounding. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener joint as defined by the equipment manufacturer.
