Williams Comfort Products JHWH-1242 Shallow Socket Sae 1/2 in Dr

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS JHWH-1242 is a shallow SAE socket designed for professional fastener work in demanding trade environments. Built with a 1/2-inch drive and a 1 5/16-inch opening, it features lobular internal geometry that increases turning power while protecting fastener heads from deformation. The overall length is 2 5/16 inches, making it well-suited for tight-clearance applications where a standard-depth socket would not fit. This socket is sold individually and is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals who regularly work with hand and impact tools.

The JHWH-1242 shallow socket is used in service and installation scenarios where fastener access is restricted and a low-profile socket is required. Its lobular opening geometry allows it to engage both 6-point and 12-point fasteners quickly and securely, reducing slip risk during high-torque applications. Typical use cases include equipment mounting, panel work, and mechanical assembly tasks common across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

Key Features

• Lobular opening design increases turning power without deforming fastener heads
• Compatible with both 6-point and 12-point fasteners for quick engagement
• Shallow profile suits tight-clearance and restricted-access applications
• 1/2-inch drive fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, and impact wrenches
• SAE sizing at 1 5/16 inches for use with standard inch-measurement fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service socket for 1/2-inch drive hand tool sets requiring SAE shallow-profile sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by trade professionals using 1/2-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, or compatible impact tools. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for wear or cracks before use, particularly in high-cycle service applications.
